Anita Loos
The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the heading of public relations. Without it, America would be grim indeed.

Anita Loos
I was making love to a man, a man I hardly even know. He was kissing the face off me and I was kissing the face off him. And I found it highly satisfactory.
Anita Loos
I've always loved high style in low company.
Anita Loos
Sometimes writers of no talent at all can write great acting scenes. Sometimes the very best writers can't write scenes that come to life.
Anita Loos
I'm furious about the Women's Liberationists. They keep getting up on soap-boxes and proclaiming that women are brighter than men. That's true, but it should be kept very quiet or it ruins the whole racket.
Anita Loos
I've never known a Philadelphian who wasn't a downright 'character' possibly a defense mechanism resulting from the dullness of their native habitat.
Anita Loos
And what, for instance, would have happened had Romeo and Juliet lived to middle age, their silhouettes broadened by pasta?
Anita Loos
And a Famous Film Star who is left alone is more alone than any other person has ever been in the whole Histry of the World, because of the contrast to our normal enviromint.

Tallulah [Bankhead] never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed.
Anita Loos
...In the past, as now, [Hollywood] was a stamping ground for tastelessness, violence, and hyperbole, but once upon a time it turned out a product which sweetened the flavor of life all over the world.
Anita Loos
I was born in the theatre. My father was a small time impresario on the West Coast and I was acting from the age of 7, but I started to write when I was 12 and by the time I was 14 I was making more money than I was acting.
