Count Ludwig von Salm-Hoogstraeten was an Austrian tennis player and had a nascent silent film career in the 1920s. At the time of the publication of Blondes, he was gaining notoriety in the professional tennis world for bad sportsmanship, but even more prominently for recently marrying an American heiress and eloping with her to Europe. The father of the heiress shortly after took her back to the United States from Europe leading to a highly publicized separation. Newspapers were not shy about insinuating that Count Salm was after the fortune to reinforce a lagging aristocratic inheritance. Anita Loos knew Count Salm and was rumored to have recruited him for a return to acting in 1924 with the lure of resolution to his financial problems.
