Documentary/ Biography originally made for Turner Classic Movies

This 1998 film is narrated by Shirley MacLaine (of "John Goldfarb Please Come Home" 1965 fame). Even though this is a quick overview, we get to know Louise Brooks from her own words and those that met her. This is divided into five sections: "Lulu in Toe Shoes" "Lulu in Hollywood" "Lulu in Berlin" "Lulu in Hell" "Resurrection"

There is some great stock footage and, in the end, you feel that you know her better than if she actually talked to you.

At first glance you think of her as some exotic European actress. Who would have guessed that Mary Louise Brooks was an American film actress and dancer during the 1920s and 1930s. She was born in Cherryvale, Kansas, U. S. A.

The next time you watch her movies you will see them through new eyes and a new appreciation for her acting style.
