The Diary of a Professional Lady

Beschreibung

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a landmark satirical novel by Anita Loos. In it we follow the diary entries of Lorelei Lee a blond flapper from Little Rock complete with spelling and grammar errors. What follows is a delightful romp as we discover that Lorelei is anything but a dumb blonde. Her observations on life are witty, humorous, cutting, and outrageous. A classic from the Jazz Age, just as relevant today as when it was first published. Join this delightful gold digger with a heart of gold on her adventures and escapades.

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.
