I have never seen a more beautiful woman than her, she had a transcendent beauty that no one can compare to in my opinion, I'm a teenage girl but I am fascinated with her, I was shocked when I first saw a picture of her I have seen such a beauty in my life. R.I.P Louise♡
Very, very well spoken/ stunning and rebellious. She lived her life the way she wanted to. Not many can say that. Beautiful woman in every sense of the word. RIP.
I fell in love with Louise Brooks in the late 1970s through the Leacock interview and "Pandora's Box". I took my son to see "Pandora's Box" about ten years ago and never told him about Louise Brooks. As we were walking out I asked him what he thought - he said, "I think I'm in love". lol
I agree- Louise never became a major movie star or a key player in Hollywood. She didn't want to play by the rules and made so many self destructive mistakes. Her beauty was iconic -but, her best work was just three silent films done in Europe all the while America was raving about the talkies. Brook was too little and too late.
Her burial site is at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Rochester, NY. Going north, she is located on the left side of the road in a nondescript marker on the ground. RIP, Louise. And, thank you! 1906 - 1985.
It's amazing how much fame she has gotten from essentially one film and a hairdo. I think she was languishing in cultural obscurity until her reputation was revived in a profile of her written by Kenneth Tynan in The New Yorker Magazine in 1979. She helped this re-evaluation along with some perceptive interviews, public speaking and writing she did near the end of her life. A stunning woman/actress to be sure, but the résumé is awful thin.
Well they make her a badass. I feel she threw it away. She could've been a great actress. Imagine her in public enemy, or could you see that beautiful dollface in the bride of Frankenstein?
Interesting comment. Louise turned down that role in the Public Enemy which was a huge mistake on her part as she was perfect for the role, Instead the part went to Jean Harlow whose star was on the rise. Louise made her share of bad decisions.
LB was EXACTLY like Emma Hamilton (of Lord Nelson fame), a gorgeous and independent-minded woman 'WAY, 'WAY ahead of her time. If LB had been born in 1996 instead of 1906, things would have been SO different! Here's the movie made about Emma, "That Hamilton Woman": th-cam.com/video/evl7ldotkRI/w-d-xo.html
She aged without surgery. With a certain grandeur. Her voice is young, what she says is young. Why can't older people look old? Beautiful smile. If you want to see someone who does not age well, look at Madonna....
Amazing how her look has survived the test of time

Her voice matches her beauty.
I would have loved to meet Ms. Brooks. Imagine all the colorful stories she had
Her strong character was not loved at Hollywood. That is the poor reason, why Luise Brooks can only be seen on a few movies. A wounderful actress.

doliwsef she represented a threat to the patriarchy, a femme Fatale who was not just there to look pretty, she defined her career on her own terms
Her burial site is at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Rochester, NY. Going north, she is located on the left side of the road in a nondescript marker on the ground. RIP, Louise. And, thank you! 1906 - 1985.
Jeez Louise! Got to see her Euro silents. Thanks for this upload.
Still had such youthful energy even in old age.
I think that I can remember this documentary from the time, interesting stuff!
Thanks again.
Brain enjoyed this: Louise was the Greatest: Thanks.
THOSE EYES WERE SOMETHING ELSE....
I was her for 20s, day at my school today
Thanks again
8:23: What is the name of this song? My mother always played it on the piano.
She was too free in 20's - modern Women must give a Great thank you for her sacrifice...
In 2014 Natalie Merchant wrote and recorded a beautiful song ('Lulu') as a tribute to Louise Brooks.
ls there a missing 3 part to Louise Brooks; cant find it ?

She was mainly a dancer.
that.........is the sexiest woman ever .
Heard it all before
😍😍😍😍😍
how could that be in in 1986 when she died in 1985?
Well, the documentary IS from 1986. The interviews most likely were recorded before her death, I hope. ;)
that makes sense bur I have serious doubt
17, in NYC with all these men hitting on her?
She was so cool. ..Hedonist. yea
Never quite clear? Ruth st Dennis dismissed her for " having a superior attitude." Her friend Barbara Bennett got her a job in the scandals.
Well they make her a badass. I feel she threw it away. She could've been a great actress. Imagine her in public enemy, or could you see that beautiful dollface in the bride of Frankenstein?

She didn't age well. Hard to believe the old Louise Brooks is the same person.

Are you kidding? She look fantastic for a woman her age. Very attractive.
Thanks to photoshop.
there has been a form of photoshopping since at least the 1870s. That being said; She was a gorgeous woman for any age.
Nobody really ages well. Makeup, etc. can partially mask getting old.
The men she acts with are not very handsome and they seem to be old enough to be her grandfather
Sorry but interesting name Lord Beaverbrook hmmmmmmmmmmm interesting name for a sleazeball ?! Dont mind the pun ?!
