I read a bio a while back of Louise Brooks, what a fascinating life. I also recall a blog comment by a guy who had been a movie lighting or sound guy in his 20s. on a sound stage, a couple of studio execs came in with a very elderly woman, who was still strikingly beautiful. he wrote that every guy on the set dropped his jaw and stared. he asked an old guy, who is that? the vet replied, it's Louise Brooks, the most beautiful woman in Hollywood, and the unhappiest. sorry about the bold, cd not figure out how to cut it off.
I like that hair style on her.

ReplyDeleteHer first autobiography, entitled 'Naked On My Goat', was thrown into an incinerator by her own hand.
ReplyDeleteIt appears Louise Brooks was not a big fan of brassieres
"Naked on My Goat"? Hmm. No wonder my publisher turned my manuscript down! The title had been taken!
