@IngridHbn I have the picture framed on my wall... Not only for Louise, but in my opinion, as a supreme example of the great art of Hollywood Photography. Eugene Robert Richee was a fabulous artist, and since he was staff photographer at Paramount , took many great portraits of #louisebrooks and my other favorite #carolelombard

My focus here will be on pop culture , mostly MUSIC , but also books, Art, and Film. I love classic films, and follow sites that focus on people like #LouiseBrooks #CaroleLombard and some more contemporary people like #JulietteBinoche

#AccaddeOggi nel 1985 muore 78enne l'attrice del cinema muto #LouiseBrooks consigliatissimo il suo libro di memorie hollywoodiane, #LulùAHollywood https://www.desordre.it/desordre/2004/10/lulu_a_hollywoo.html

indeed, clara attracted the fierce loyalty of all the right people, including her contemporary, louise brooks, who fought her corner against unkind critics & castigated film historian, kevin brownlow, who’d neglected to mention clara in his book, ‘the parade’s gone by’.

@Jean_no fait du #processing, ces petits programmes artististiques qui font des choses inattendus avec des paramètres et du hasard (c’est un genre de pape de la chose, il a écrit un tas de bouquin sur cette pratique)

Cette fois, il a trituré une photo de #LouiseBrooks. C’est sur son Insta que je l’ai trouvé – ouais Jean-No, c’est un gros lâcheur des amis sur Masto, on ne l’y voit plus guère.

“Louise Brooks on a Chair.” Le portrait de #LouiseBrooks par #EdwardSteichen pour le numéro de janvier 1929 de Vanity Fair. Le Loulou de Pabst sort en Allemagne un mois après et fait le scandale que l’on sait, censure, etc.

Moi, je me pose une question que je vous dis plus tard. /1

A fantastic still of Louise Brooks from the late 1920s. (Vamps and Flappers of the 1910s, 1920s, and Early 1930s) #LouiseBrooks

Clara Bow’s thirty-first movie was Dancing Mothers, released on March 1, 1926.

Paramount cast Clara as Kittens, the second lead in the movie. Clara was too talented to play second-fiddle to anyone, and she duly stole the picture. She said, “I played her (Kittens) as a girl out for havin’ fun. When I said mean things, I tried t’put over the idea with a look after I’d said the thing: “Oh, why’d I say that? I didn’t really mean it.”

I am the hungry sea that devoured a thousand fish.

I am quiet screams under fingernails, helplessly sobbing."
