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 [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_Age]Jazz Age[/url] including [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Fitzgerald]F.Scott Fitzgerald[/url] and his wife Zelda, Greta Garbo and William Randolph Hearst. Her bob hairstyle started a sensational trend in the [url=http://web.archive.org/web/20091026133138/http://geocities.com/flapper_culture/]flapper generation[/url]. She got herself into a lifelong drinking habit.[html]<img src="https://www.systemshock.org/Smileys/sbf/ohlulu.gif" style="float:right" alt=""/>[/html] In 1928 she turned her back on Hollywood and went to Europe to star in [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018737/]Pandora's Box[/url] 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 [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invention_of_Morel]The Invention of Morel[/url] (1940), the Comicbook Series [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentina_%28comic_book%29]Valentina[/url] (1965-1995) and the character [url=https://www.systemshock.org/shocklog/shocklogs.html#048_LOG0305]Nurse Erin Bloome[/url] 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 [i]Barren Brooks [/i]but everyone knew her as Lulu. :lulu: To read Louise in her own witty writings get her book [url=http://www.amazon.com/Lulu-Hollywood-Expanded-Louise-Brooks/dp/0816637318]Lulu in Hollywood[/url].
