A Mouse is Born by Anita Loos. Published by Doubleday & Company, 1951. Stated first edition, unstated first print. Inscribed by the author. Book and dust jacket are in VG+ condition. Book has minor sun spotting on top edges, lightly faded front cover. Dust jacket has one small torn piece on front, some foxing on edges. In an archival mylar jacket. Anita Loos was a boundary-pushing author and screenwriter, penning works that challenged the Hayes Code era censorship of female sexuality. A Hollywood socialite, Loos developed friendships with Joan Crawford, Helen Hayes, and Katherine Hepburn. Among her other satirical romantic comedies, Loos wrote Gentlemen Prefer Blondes-- the source material for the iconic Marylin Monroe film. Capturing the Hollywood golden era, A Mouse is Born follows a young starlet's narrative of her own life and experiences.
