I’ve just finished watching Pandora’s Box. A 1929 film by Pabst starring Louise Brooks. I sooo love these old silent movies.
If you don’t know the name Louise Brookes – the face will be familiar. It is beautiful. Iconic.
And Louise was the original 20th century BADASS girl.
She came from Wichita as a dancer. WB Pabst asked her to go to Germany and she went, sticking 2 fingers up to the Hollywood system. She refused to be controlled. As Pabst also found out to his cost!
Hollywood abandoned her. But she resurfaced decades later as a ‘pull-no-punches’ writer. I have a biography and her “autobiography” Lulu in Hollywood. Love her to bits.
Reblogged this on Greta Brookes and commented:
Watch the film!
Spoiler : She gets ripped by FAF Jack.
From Hell
