Photograph Signed ("Anita") and Inscribed, 5 by 8 inch silver print, inscribed at lower margin to George Cukor: "Love to my twin brother." Screenwriter and novelist Loos is most remembered for her comic novel, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She met Cukor at M.G.M. and co-wrote the screenplay of the Joan Crawford Norma Shearer vehicle, The Women. Here she updates Cukor on the process of staging her adaptation of Gigi, reporting that Colette has seen a young Audrey Hepburn and recommends her for the production. Loos also describes traveling with Paulette Goddard, and catching up with other mutual friends: "I'm seeing Ruth and Gar this week and will catch up on all the news of H'wood. They have Spence in tow, who seems to be something of a problem child. I don't think he's crazy about Europe. Kate dashes over to see him on weekends."
