Note:
Corinne Anita Loos was born in Sisson, California on April 26, 1889. Her family moved to San Francisco in 1892. There she
appeared in several stage productions, which she continued after her father began managing a San Diego theater company in
1903. In 1911 this theater began showing one-reel films after the stage performances, which Anita watched, and she began writing
screenplays, most notably for director D. W. Griffith. She then joined her future husband John Emerson for a series of successful
Douglas Fairbanks films. In 1925, her series of short sketches in "Harper's Bazaar" became an enormously successful novel
titled "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," subsequently presented on film and onstage. Eventually settling in New York and often traveling
to Europe, Loos was acquainted with many prominent writers and artists of her time, became a celebrity on her own right, and
in later years was looked upon as one of the last links to the silent movie and flapper era, her reminiscenses seemingly growing
more exaggerated as the years passed. Anita Loos died in New York on August 18, 1981.
