Inspirational Quotes by Anita Loos (American Actor)

Anita Loos (1888–1981) was an American screenwriter, playwright and author, best known for her blockbuster comic novel, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Anita Loos was born Corinne Anita Loos in Sisson, California, to Richard Beers Loos and Minnie Ellen Smith. Loos had two siblings: Gladys and Clifford, a physician and co-founder of the Ross-Loos Medical Group. On pronouncing her name, Loos is reported to have said, “The family has always used the correct French pronunciation which is lohse. However, I myself pronounce my name as if it were spelled luce, since most people pronounce it that way and it was too much trouble to correct them.” Loos’ father, R. Beers Loos, founded a tabloid for which her mother, Minerva “Minnie” Smith did most of the work of a newspaper publisher. In 1892, when Loos was four years old, the family moved to San Francisco, where Beers Loos bought the newspaper The Dramatic Event, a veiled version of the UK’s Police Gazette, with money Minerva borrowed from her father.
