About Louise Brooks
Louise Brooks appeared in 24films between 1925 and 1938. She was also a gifted dancer as well as an accomplished writer. Before she entered films, Louise Brooks performed with both the Denishawn Dance Company and Ziegfeld Follies. Later in life, her articles were collected into a bestselling book, Lulu In Hollywood.
Today, Louise Brooks is best known for her role as Lulu, in the classic 1929 German film, Pandora's Box. Nearly 70 years after her last films, Louise Brooks is remembered still for her independent spirit, remarkable beauty, and trademark hair style — qualities which have made her a 21st century icon.
