Edition DescriptionExpanded
SynopsisThe collected writings of this icon of the silent era, in a new, more complete edition. Louise Brooks (1906-1985) is one of the most famous actresses of the silent era, renowned as much for her rebellion against the Hollywood system as for her performances in such influential films as Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl. These are eight autobiographical essays by Brooks, on topics ranging from her childhood in Kansas and her early days as a Denishawn and Ziegfeld Follies dancer to her friendships with Martha Graham, Charles Chaplin, W. C. Fields, Humphrey Bogart, William Paley, G. W. Pabst, and others. New to this edition is the revelatory "Why I Will Never Write My Memoirs" by Brooks and "The Girl in the Black Helmet" by Kenneth Tynan, which brought about the revival of interest in her work and was the best discussion of Brooks's film work to appear in her lifetime.

A must-have for fans of old Hollywood!
Well written and interesting view from the cat-bird seat of one of Hollywood's most interesting silent screen stars. Great insights into the studio system from the days of yore and yet a very contemporary cautionary tale for today's wannabe stars.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
