Louise Brooks (November 14, 1906 – August 8, 1985), born Mary Louise Brooks, was an American film actress and dancer noted as an iconic symbol of the flapper, and for popularizing the bobbed haircut.
Brooks is best known as the lead in three feature films made in Europe: Pandora's Box (1929), Diary of a Lost Girl (1929), and Miss Europe (1930); the first two were made by G. W. Pabst. She starred in seventeen silent films and eight sound films before retiring in 1938. Brooks published her memoir, Lulu in Hollywood, in 1982; three years later she died of a heart attack at the age of 78.
Born in Cherryvale, Kansas, Louise Brooks was the daughter of Leonard Porter Brooks, a lawyer, who was usually too busy with his practice to discipline his children, and Myra Rude, an artistic mother who determined that any "squalling brats she produced could take care of themselves".
Rude was a talented pianist who played the latest Debussy and Ravel for her children, inspiring them with a love of books and music.

“A remarkable collection of interviews by Gary Conklin with artists, writers, designers, and musicians who were part of Berlin’s rich and influential period of creativity in the 20’s.” –Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times “Gary Conklin is a master of the documentary medium, as he as proven by this film on the Weimar era. Being a child of that era gives my admiration for this accomplishment more weight than my voice as a professional. He has caught the essence of the period.” -Gottfried Reinhardt, producer/director “A magnificent documentary on a fascinating period of history.” -Kenneth Tynan “Channel 4 comes good again with a superb documentary on life in Berlin between the wars, Memories of Berlin.
