	Louise Brooks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born Mary Louise Brooks in Cherryvale, Kansas, this beautiful dark-haired actress is primarily known for her roles in silent films made during the late Roaring Twenties in the United States and three films made in Europe in 1929 and 1930, as well as her trend-setting "bob" hairstyle.
		Louise unfortunately had a life-long love of alcohol, and was an alcoholic for a major portion of her life, although she exorcised that particular demon enough to begin writing about film, which became her second life.
		Louise had always been very self-directed, even difficult, and was notorious for her salty language, which she didn't hesitate to use whenever she felt like it.

	Louise Brooks
		Born to prosperous attorney Leonard Brooks, age 40, and Myra (Rude) Brooks, age 23, she was the second of four children.
		The pivotal point in Louise's life was probably when her mother enrolled her and she was accepted as a serious dancer into the famed Ruth Saint-Denis and Ted Shawn's arty Denishawn Dance Company in New York City.
		Miss Brooks, a free spirit known for her independence, complete honesty at any cost and open contempt for the American film industry, later stated "her intelligence and seriousness were handicaps in her American film career." She would go to city libraries and correct untrue written information in biographies and autobiographies.

	Louise Brooks \| Biography (1906-1985)
		Louise Brooks made few films which are seldom seen, and by most accounts was difficult, a snob and a gossip.
		For example, for years Brooks alleged that she was concealing William Paley as her ex-lover and later patron—yet the cheerfully vain Paley was bursting to be named as one of her conquests.
		Quite simply, she appreciated that the power of the screen actress lay not in impersonation or performance, in the carefully worked-out personal narrative of stage acting, "but in the movement of thought and soul transmitted in a kind on intense isolation." An actress had fully to imagine the feelings of a character.
