Screenwriter, novelist, and playwright Anita Loos was a fascinating talent, writing daily for more than seventy of her ninety-four years. She left behind a treasure trove of writing, though not all of her written works were completed.
Anita Loos Rediscovered: Film Treatments and Fiction by Anita Loos was edited and annotated by Cari Beauchamp and Mary Anita Loos (her niece). Over the years, Anita Loos wrote for stars like Clark Gable and Mary Pickford, crafting film treatments, short stories, one-act plays, and more. This book consists of a selection of some of these works, personally chosen by Mary Anita Loos and film historian Cari Beauchamp to offer additional insights and anecdotes about Anita’s personal and professional life.
Though many may remember Anita Loos for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, this book showcases just how much more she contributed beyond the confines of that beloved show.
