Synopsis:

At the suggestion of a 'gentlemen friend', Lorelei Lee decides to keep a diary. GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES consists of four months' breathless, ungrammatical entries and alludes to the critical points of its heroine's past. Lorelei and her friend Dorothy vigorously pursue their education with the aid of New York's foremost intellectuals, politicians and bootleggers. The story first appeared as a serial in 'Harper's Bazaar' and the subsequent novel sold out on the first day of publication. The second installment of the diary, BUT GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES, describes Dorothy's exotic early career and demonstrates how little marriage has altered the diarist. GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES has been filmed twice.

Along with the two novels featured here, she also wrote the screenplay for Gigi, adapted from the novel by Colette.
