Louise Brooks: Essential Reading

The definitive biography of the actress. The best biography I have ever read. The best biography I will ever read. Thoroughly researched, gracefully written, this is the remarkable story of the rise and fall of a film legend.

Louise Brooks was not only a great actress - she was a talented writer. This book is a collection of the actress' own autobiographical essays.

A beautifully produced pictorial. If ever there was an actress whom the camera worshipped - it was Louise Brooks. She rarely photographed poorly. This collection of images (along with an insightful text by an acclaimed film historian) is testament to her stunning beauty.

The first ever book about the actress. This now out-of-print volume contains writings both by and about Louise Brooks - as well as lots of pictures.

This heavily illustrated volume contains director G.W. Pabst's script for the film, plus "Pabst and Lulu" by Louise Brooks, and "Pabst and the Miracle of Louise Brooks" by Lotte H. Eisner. A treasure worth looking for.

One of a number of translations of Frank Wedekind's provocative play - this is among the most recent. Louise Brooks appears on the cover of this soft cover edition. (Wedekind, a turn-of-the-century German playwrite, also wrote "Spring Awakening" - which has recently enjoyed great success on Broadway.)
