Biography[edit]Early life[edit]Anita Loos was born Corinne Anita Loos in Sisson, California (today Mount Shasta), to Richard Beers Loos and Minnie Ellen Smith. Loos had two siblings: Gladys and Clifford (Harry 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."[2] Loos' father, R. Beers Loos, founded a tabloid for which her mother, Minerva "Minnie" Smith did most of the work of a newspaper publisher.[3] In 1. 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.[3]While living in San Francisco, Loos followed her dissolute alcoholic father as they explored the city's underbelly.[3] Together they would sit on the pier, fishing and making friends with the locals, feeding into Loos' lifelong fascination with lowlifes and loose women.[4] In 1.

San Francisco stock company production of Quo Vadis.[3] Gladys died, aged eight, of appendicitis while their father was on one of his drinking and philandering "fishing trips".[5] Anita continued appearing on stage, sometimes being the family's sole breadwinner. Eventually Beers Loos' spendthrift ways caught up with them, and in 1. Beers Loos took an offer to manage a theater company in San Diego.[3] There, Anita performed simultaneously in her father's stock company, and under another name with the more legitimate stock company in town. It was around this time that she started shaving years off her true age. Loos had known she wanted to be a writer since she was six, and she also wanted to free herself of the shackles of stock performance. After graduating from San Diego High, Loos devised a method of cobbling together published reports of Manhattan social life, mailing them to a friend in New York who would submit them under their own name for publication in San Diego. Her father had turned out some one- act plays for the stock company, and encouraged Anita to work in the field herself.

She wrote The Ink Well, a successful piece for which she would receive periodic royalties.[3]In 1. Anita would take a perfunctory bow and run to the back of the theater to watch them.[4] She sent her first attempt at a screenplay, He Was A College Boy, to the Biograph Company, for which she received $2. The New York Hat, starring Mary Pickford and Lionel Barrymore and directed by D.

W. Griffith, was her third screenplay and the first to be produced. Loos dredged real life and real situations for her scenarios: she dished up her father's cronies, her brother's friends and the rich vacationers from the San Diego resorts; eventually every experience became grist for her script mill.[3]By 1. Loos had sold scripts to both the Biograph and Lubin studios.

In 1. 91. 5, trying to escape her influence, Loos married her first husband, Frank Pallma, Jr., the son of the band conductor.[9] But Frank proved to be penniless and dull – after six months, Anita sent him out for hair pins, and while he was gone she packed her bags and went home to her mother.[4] After that, Minnie rethought her position on a Hollywood career. Accompanied by her mother, Anita joined the film colony in Hollywood where Griffith put Loos on the payroll for Triangle Film Corporation at $7.

Many of the scripts she turned out for Griffith went unproduced. Some he considered unfilmable because the "laughs were all in the lines, there was no way to get them onto the screen," but he encouraged her to continue, because reading them amused him.[7] Her first screen credit was for an adaptation of Macbeth in which her billing came right after Shakespeare's.[4] When Griffith asked her to write the subtitling for his epic Intolerance (1. New York City for the first time to attend its premiere. Instead of returning to Hollywood, Loos spent the fall of 1. New York and met with Frank Crowninshield of Vanity Fair. They had an instant rapport, and Loos would remain a Vanity Fair contributor for several decades.[7]Loos returned to California just as Griffith, who wanted to make longer films, was leaving Triangle, and she joined director and future husband John Emerson for a string of successful Douglas Fairbanks films. Loos and company realized that Douglas Fairbanks' acrobatics were an extension of his effervescent personality and parlayed his natural athletic ability into swashbuckling adventure roles.

During this time Loos, Fairbanks and Emerson collaborated well together, and Loos was getting as much publicity as either Lillian Gish or Pickford.[4]Photoplay magazine labeled her "The Soubrette of Satire".[7] In 1. Famous Players- Lasky offered the couple a four- picture deal in New York for more money than they had been making with the Fairbanks unit.
