Girls on Film.


Louise Brooks (November 1906 - August 1985). A loner, a lady, a rebel, a haircut. After success and disillusionment, ruin and rebirth, from famed actress to the blacklist, courtesan to salesgirl, she stumbled into the warm glow of latter day recognition after long marinating in the pale light of popular neglect and obscurity. Deliverance took many shapes, and hers came not only in the renewed interest and critical acclaim for her formative acting work, but also in her burgeoning career as a writer (and a very witty one at that) in the middle of her life. Proof that it's never too late for a lady to begin again, again.

P.S.

Ms.Brooks' required us to post more pictures than usual - the material was just too good...
