Significant Women in Film History: 1900s-1920s

Anita Loos (1881-1981)

Born in 1881, Anita Loos spent her childhood in San Francisco. At the age of eight, her father urged Loos and her sister to begin acting in a stock company. Although acting made money for Loos and her family, she held dreams of being a writer. By 1911, Loos would be introduced to short films through the theater where she acted, which would play the reels after performances. She would soon try her luck writing screenplays and soon be writing and sending in scripts to the Biograph company. Her scenario The New York Hat would be the first to be produced. By 1915 she had moved to Hollywood, where D.W Griffith secured her a job on the payroll at the Triangle Film Corporation, making her the first writer to ever be put on a payroll at a production company. She would go on to write a number of sucessful action films for Douglass Fairbanks. Her films were often noted for their witty intertitles and Photoplay would go on to dub Loos as” The Soubrette of Satire” because of this. Throughout the 10’s and 20s, Loos screenwriting career would continue to prosper. By 1925 Loos would publish her most famous work Gentlemen Prefer Blondes which would be adapted into a film starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russel in 1953 (although she had no part in this particualr adaption). The novel proved popular enough that she would be able to adapt her novel for the Broadway stage not soon after and write a sequel, But Gentlemen Marry brunettes in 1927. Although she took a break due to marital issues she would return to writing for the silver screen with Red Headed Women and continue to write for MGM throughout the 1930s. In 1936 she would win an Academy Award for the film San Francisco. She would write the screenplay for one of the most famous films of the 1930s, The Women in 1939. Although she was apprehensive about changes the censors required, the film has gone on to remembered for its sharp dialogue that only Loos could have written. Throughout the 1940s she continued writing for the screen and stage. By the 1950s her biggest contribution would be the stage adaption of Collette’s Gigi, starring the then unknown Audrey Hepburn who Loos claimed to have discovered in a hotel lobby in Monte Carlo. By the 1960s she would go on to begin writing a volume of memoirs which she would continue to do into the 1970s. On August 18, 1981, Loos would die from natural causes.

Confessions of a Recovering Genrephobic 4/27/24

Hey Whores,

This week I went on a trip!

I drove in a square across my beautiful state and then spent an entire day with an incredible cute boy who looks kinda like a mexican Adam Scott so theres that.

We had fun I really like him. And in a me being healthy boy I also hung out with other friends in other towns, and saw beautiful things, went to beautiful places, and also learned alot about local history and can I say I'm really sorry the various native american tribes that had to deal with our white asses.

Anyway the hours of driving gave me a reason to listen to music. So yaayayayayayayaya.

Only Just Beginning (2004) - Jason Webley

Genre: Folk Length: 51:58 (10 Tracks)

Another Jason Webley album.

Sing For Your Lives! (2011) - Vagabond Opera

Genre: Various (will Explain) Length: 58:17 (11 Songs)

oh how to discribe Vagabond Opera. Much like This way to the Egress, VO is one of those bands that is stylisticly steampunk, but includes a variety of older genre sound such as caberet, circus, klezmer, and other various folk styles. (oh an opera forgot about that) I wouldn't think that it would be *incorrect* to label this as dark caberet but understand that its dark in the same way that zoey boekbinder is.

heres a sample.

Tapestry (1971) - Carole King

Genre: Soft Rock, Pop Length: 44:31 (12 Tracks)

You Light Up My Life (1977) - Debby Boone

Genre: Pop Length: 38:12 (12 Tracks)

No not that other album with the exact name.

Overall this and the last album was nice? It had that kind of soft 70s pop sound from back then and its not for me. Enough said.

Black Sabbath (1970) - Black Sabbath

Genre: Heavy Metal Length: 38:08 (7 Tracks)

When The Moon Was Hungry (2007) - The Romanovs

Genre: Dark Caberet, Goth Rock Length: 43:49 (10 Tracks)

ok first baby dolls you have to hear this song.

God isn't that so good. Its gothic, its so clearly dark cabernet, and its just a hot ass song. Honestly I kinda understand why I was so obsessed with The Last Dinner Party a couple months back.

The actually history of this album is interesting. Its essentially a one-off project by the singer and a few of her friends and they only released this one album. Its also not on spotify and most sources are pretty confused on the track listings. Essentially there is no official digital version of this album online everything you can find is a fan recreation.

I love how I keep falling in love with partially lost media essential. Banger album I need to listen to more goth music.

in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years

THE WITCH

2015, dir. Robert Eggers

[falsebooles123]

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
