I am a direct decendent of the famous "Lady of the Night" and wish to find out more information about her. Please can anyone help? Mae West played out her story in a stage-play and then on the silver screen.

I portray Diamond Tooth 'Lil in the Wild Women of the Frontier. I would love to talk to you about the research I have found and compare notes. Please e-mail me!

When I was a little girl , my mother was a good friend to Diamond tooth Lil and I have some memories of her.

I have just come across a small amount of material regarding Diamond-Tooth Lil that belonged to my great-grandfather. As a young man, he cowpunched out West and met her at that time. In fact, during a bar-room brawl at her establishment, he had the tip of his little finger shot off.

The material includes published items about her as well as a letter from an associate of hers to my great-grandfather in the late 1940s, as well as a letter from my g-g back to that associate recalling Lil.

My sister took care of Lil in a nursing home in the 60's. She talked a lot to Lil and was told numerous stories by her about her life. Contact me and I will tell you some stories. She talked about her little brother a lot. She felt responsible for his death. He was about 2 or 3. He fell out a window 3 stories up while she was watching him

My Mother and Father are buried next to Honora Ornstein AKA Diamond Tooth Lil in Yakima. We frequently visit and place flowers on her grave. (See attached May 2009 photo)

I would love to speak with you and learn more about Diamond Tooth Lil.

Thank you,
