Louise Brooks was quite probably the sexiest of all the silent screen actresses. Her life ended up being… interesting, not to say tragic. But I’m endlessly fascinated by her… and Pandora’s Box (excerpt) is easily the greatest silent movie ever made, because of her. (If you want the movie, be warned that it’s only available in PAL format.)
Astonishing. Diary of a lost girl, indeed.
She had the perfect face for the Bubikopf
Excellent choice, Kim.
This post brought to mind another actress of that approximate era, Marian Marsh, who starred as Trilby in the 1931 movie Svengali.
BTW, the molestation she endured as a child, which essentially ruined her ability to pair bond, is one reason I am all for the death penalty for child molesters. Of course, the evidence would need to be far beyond reasonable doubt to preclude purely vindictive lies.
