Anita Loos entered Hollywood at a young age, writing screenplays and (later) intertitles. By most accounts, she always had a very young appearance. Advertisements frequently capitalized on this, but they also usually note something about her intelligence or her wit. This ad starts with all kinds of infantilization (and a crazy hat), then notes that she is one of the most brilliant writers of her age.
