Episode #10: Meet Anita Loos

What?  Circa Sunday Night has actually made it to 10 episodes?  It's a good thing podcasts aren't canceled like TV shows!  Well,10 episodes may not seem like much of a milestone, but to Jennifer it's HUGE!  When she first decided to jump into podcasting, even putting together one show was an overwhelming prospect.  Now, if someone is so inclined (but honestly, who would be?) he or she could listen to Jennifer gab away for more than 10 hours straight. Goodness.  Anyway, we're going back to Hollywood tonight (no, not for more Jean Harlow!).  We're going to meet a woman who was one of the most important screenwriters of the 20th century: Anita Loos.  But she wasn't just a screenwriter, she spent a lifetime writing: memoirs, how-to books, and novels, too.  In fact, she wrote was has been called "A Great American Novel," Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.  Tonight we'll take an in-depth look at that book.  We'll also spend some time with one of her wonderful short stories, learn how to write a treatment for film, and more!  Of course, we'll wrap up as we always do, with Jennifer sharing with us her Favorite Thing of the Week.
