Fri, 9 November 2007  Forever Lulu can only mean one thing, and that would be a discussion about Louise Brooks the iconic Lulu of Pandora's Box. To talk about Louise with me, it's my pleasure to call upon Louise Brooks authority Thomas Gladysz, webmaster of The Louise Brooks Society. He is also host of Radio Lulu an online radio show of 1920's era music related to Louise Brooks and jazz from the 1920s and dance band music.Louise Brooks is probably one of the most popular and iconic stars of the silent era, in fact, she's transitioned so well as she is still so very modern. Originally this interview was to be part of a trilogy of interviews about Brooks, the other two parts will, I hope, be forthcoming in 2008. Secondly, I must tip my hat to and encourage those local to the San Francisco Bay Area to attend the San Francisco Silent Film Festival's Winter Program. They're be showing treasures from UCLA, Photoplay Productions and The Library of Congress. There will also be author book signings by Anthony Slide, author of Now Playing and Matthew Kennedy, author of a new and long overdue biography of Joan Blondell. This is a one-day program not to be missed! Comments[1] |
