She was best known for her 1925 novel, ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the Intinate Diary of a Professional Lady’, although she was much more interesting and prolific than just that title. However, it was her most popular, and was adapted for the stage the following year, then as a silent film in 1928 of which no copies have survived. In 1949 it was adapted into a musical which Loos co-wrote and starred Carol Channing, but it is perhaps best remembered for the 1953 film adaptation (of the musical) by Howard Hawks and starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. Loos actually wrote a follow up called ‘But Gentlemen Marty Brunettes’ that was the further adventures of Lorelei and Dorothy. This was also adapted into a film that starred Jane Russell and Jeanne Crain but as completely different characters and with no relation to the source material beyond the title, because Hollywood. 📕📗📘📙📕📗📘📙 #gasstationburrito #books #bookquotes #authorquotes #quotes # #Instaquotes #igquotes #literaryhistory #onthisday #anitaloos #gentlemenpreferblondes #gentlemenmarrybrunettes #marilynmonroe #howardhawks #janerussell #jeannecraig #screenwriter #goldenageoffilmIn his lifetime, Black Elk took part in the Battle of Little Bighorn and the massacre at Wounded Knee.
