Autorenporträt
Anita Loos (1888-1981) was an American screenwriter, playwright, and author. In 1912, she became the first female staff scriptwriter in Hollywood, when D. W. Griffith put her on the payroll at Triangle Film Corporation where she wrote movie scripts and supplied film scenarios for Griffith and Douglas Fairbanks. She is best known for her 1925 comic novel, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which was an instant best seller in thirteen languages (produced as a play in 1926). It was followed by its sequel, But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes. Her other plays include The Whole Town's Talking, The Fall of Eve, The Social Register, Happy Birthday, Gigi, The Amazing Adèle, Chéri, and Gogo Love You.
