Louise
Brooks
lived from 1906 to 1985. She was a silent movie star during the 1920s who participated in several successful Hollywood productions. She was aquainted with most idols and celebrities of the
Jazz Age
including
F.Scott Fitzgerald
and his wife Zelda, Greta Garbo and William Randolph Hearst. Her bob hairstyle started a sensational trend in the
flapper generation
. She got herself into a lifelong drinking habit.
In 1928 she turned her back on Hollywood and went to Europe to star in
Pandora's Box
by German expressionist director G.W.Pabst. When she returned, Hollywood directors dismissed her for her outspokenness about the Hollywood scene that she wrote about. She had to work as a sales girl in NYC.
Brooks inspired many works of art, among them the scifi novel
The Invention of Morel
(1940), the Comicbook Series
Valentina
(1965-1995) and the character
Nurse Erin Bloome
from the scifi computer game System Shock 2 (1999). The "midwife" character in the game was also based on her appearance since Erin Bloome was the first to get changed into a midwife. Unlike her role in SS2 the real Louise Brooks never had any children. She called herself
Barren Brooks
but everyone knew her as Lulu.
To read Louise in her own witty writings get her book
Lulu in Hollywood

It seems the upcoming Bioshock will have a Louise Brooks inspired character as well. And again she won't be the good girl.

I have a bigger version, if you are bigger fans.

very nice. he did not quite capture the worms though (they should have a lamprey-like mouth with short tentacles, not eyeballs).
also, Xerxes looks really bored.

Not as they appear in the game anyway, but considering their description says they connect from the torax to the brain, their length is actually more realistic.

Louise Brooks' likeliness was used, too, by artist Guido Crepax for his heroine Valentina:
And here you have her speaking with famous gentleman of fortune Corto Maltese, by Hugo Pratt:

After citizens killed Tarquin the Proud, the much hated tyrant of Rome, his body sank to the bottom of the Tiber river and detritus started to pile on it. Thus over the centuries, an island came to be, the Tiberine island which is the only one in the city.
That place of hatred and infamy is now hosting a retrospective on midwives.
