Louise Brooks: The Story of Lulu

[ThesChannel]

Small correction: at 16:03, I say "West coast" but it's supposed to be "East coast." I think the context makes it pretty clear, but just in case, I'll cover my bases.

During my college years I met a young lady who very closely resembles Ms. Brooks - her affect on men was the same - my grandfather tried to get me to marry her - I told him " she is nothing but trouble" unlike Ms. Brooks she married 4 times and rang the cash register at each event - finally marrying her divorce atty for her last prize. She now lives in a very fashionable southern California enclave with a very sizeable net worth. Your presentation was superb - I dare say one of the best I have seen ever.

Louise was my son's third cousin. I was very excited to find this documentary. He has some of her costume jewelry and was also to learn more .about her life.

36:41 She could walk into an elegant restaurant or luxury hotel today, turning heads immediately - that hair, the jewelry, that dress - 100 years later...stunning, classic. Wow.

Incredible how timeless Louise Brooks was. She looks modern in whatever role she played. Very unique lady just a pity so many of her films are lost. Incredible how disposable early film was treated.

I've always loved Louise Brooks. She seemed ahead of her time. I believe she would be a star today.

What a gorgeous and talented woman that set the world on fire in the 20s but would equally be admired today. Her bob haircut made her fashionable then and would still be a trendsetter today. Thanks for this fine production.

A sublime tribute to absolutely one of the most gifted of all screen actors. Her acting as Lulu remains today as fresh as it was in 1929. Her legacy remains secure.

She was one of the most photogenic women of the last 100 years.

The fact that I am viewing this 1920's channel regarding her beauty and talent is proof that she is in fact not only beautiful but talented and she is remembered for all that is attributed to her.

Louise Brooks .... Too good to ever be forgotten ❤

She was so, so beautiful. My word... I love her book Lulu In Hollywood. It's so sad that many silent films are now lost, but we must remain thankful for those that survived. God bless you, Louise.

She said she never acted. Didn't know how to "act". So she just remained herself, coping with whatever arose in a script. S'why she is so natural, so modern, so full of life. It all shines through her eyes. She wasn't faking it. She was just being herself, Louise.

I was anxiously waiting for this, for me she is te great icon of the flappers, the Art Deco diva so far. Greetings from Cuernavaca México.

My mom had a coffee table book on her on display when I was growing up and I’m sure it influenced my look over the years . I’ve had dark hair bob and / or bangs most of my life.

I was unaware of Louise Brooks until 1994 when I attended a screening of Pandora’s Box. The screening was attended by Frances Lederer, who played the doctor’s son in the movie, and his wife Marion. I was project superintendent of repairs on a beach house in Malibu Mr. Lederer owned which he had purchased from director/produced Robert Wise a few decades before. Great documentary.

I've only just discovered Louise Brooks, I came across a documentary about her, by accident, decided to watch it and was absolutely fascinated. She was so stunningly attractive and SO photogenic, the camera absolutely adored her face. A true icon.

Louise Brooks is my favorite for sure. Now, you’ll appreciate this…when I was 12 or 13 in the mid 1970s, my dad was friends with this person named Gil Walters and his wife was a silent film actress named Val Walters. She was involved in politics and was invited to Jimmy Carters Inauguration. She was a very quiet person, and I don’t know what movies she was in, but she always told interest stories about that era. She met Chaplin one time, but I can’t remember too much about the story.

It’s interesting to me how we, as Americans, give ourselves permission to celebrate particular individuals in their various fields of expertise. Louise Brooks certainly was a product of modernity and her life’s journey reflects a certain rebellious nature we often feel within ourselves.

She was so stunning and there are so many gorgeous photos of her. This was a fabulous video.
