"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" did not make me laugh, but it's useful reading for anybody who wants to better their understanding of the USA of the 1920s.

I might give Loos's autobiographical writing a go at some point.

My latest project has me exploring a bit far afield at times. Now I’m looking into a late 1940s Broadway hit written by Anita Loos and starring Helen Hayes. As far as I can tell, this was not adapted into a movie.

While doing some completely unrelated research, I came across this anecdote, which I think bears repeating. See the alt text for my transcription.
