Corinne Anita Loos (Mount Shasta, 1889 - New York, 1981)
Anita Loos was an American screenwriter, playwright and author. In 1912, she became the first-ever female staff scriptwriter in Hollywood, when D.W. Griffith put her on the payroll at Triangle Film Corporation. Best known for her 1925 comic novel, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, as well as her 1951 Broadway adaptation of Colette's novella Gigi. In the 1930s she was signed by MGM, and wrote brilliant screenplays for the likes of San Francisco (1936), with Clark Gable, Saratoga (1937), with Jean Harlow, and Donne (The Women, 1939), with Joan Crawford . Meanwhile she travels all over the world and continues to write books. In the following decade she leaves the cinema and retires to an apartment in Manhattan, New York.
Background:
In the fifties and sixties Anita Loos devoted herself completely to literature, except for a brief foray into the theater (she wrote the theatrical adaptation of her novel Gigi), writing her autobiography, A Girl Like I, in 1966.
