Description
Essential writings by this icon of the silent era—rereleased in print and now available as an e-book 100 years after Louise Brooks arrived in Hollywood.
Lulu in Hollywood is an intimate collection of eight autobiographical essays by Louise Brooks, silent film darling and icon of the flapper era. 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, Brooks's writing offers a rare glimpse into her extraordinary life.
Including her revelatory "Why I Will Never Write My Memoirs," Lulu in Hollywood also features Kenneth Tynan's 1979 essay "The Girl in the Black Helmet," which revived interest in Brooks's work and was the best discussion of her film work to appear in her lifetime.
