Tanya, you’re referring to “Lulu In Hollywood” right? (Linked to above.)
I love that she can be witty and spiteful in one breath, and deeply compassionate the next. So unpredictable.

She also wrote a lovely book, with a sharp and sarcastic tone entirely her own. In fact, she really could have stood up to Dorothy Parker when it came to cutting down some of her contemporaries.

Theremina, thank you. (That does sound like a good relationship.)

D, those shotswere taking by Eugene Robert Richee, who probably photographed her more than anyone else. She had a wry quote about him, too: "Eugene Richee used to take sixty shots in two hours. We never said a word to each other. Perfect relationship."

I was just thinking about Louise Brooks yesterday. A beautiful woman who I absolutely adored also.

Quite stunning. I’d never have gotten interested in her without a short story by Gaiman.

Anyone know who shot those images of her with a long pearl necklace in black on black?

Thank-you — I have always adored (in every sense of the word) Brooks and only wish I had run into her while still living in the same city.
