True. Beautiful actresses aren't usually that kind and complementary to other beautiful actresses. Class.

Oh, if you look for what she wrote about Joan Crawford it's quite interesting

@@user-vo2kp5jg8vwhat did Louise say about Joan Crawford

@@matthewarroyo3118one comment to me that sticks out, is that Joan danced like a sumo wrestler. Which Louise having been with the Denishawn dancers (founders of modern dance) the George White Scandals and the Follies, is quite a burn.

@@chrisgabriel5679 oh interesting

Read their book 😅

Nobody could wear a Bob haircut like Louise. Magnificent!

The million being her lovers.

@@williamjordan5554 - No man ever got to "know" a woman by belittling women. But you wouldn't know anything about that.

@@XrayxRich any time somebody tries to correlate a woman's intelligence to the number of partners she's had, it's misogyny.

Transatlantic, or Mid-Atlantic accent, Wikipedia would like us to believe

@@andershansson2245 Hardly. Her accent is simply one of many natural American accents of her day.

@@Garrett1240 No it isn't. The "mid-Atlantic" accent doesn't exist naturally. It's a designed accent that actors in those days were trained to use, or chose to use. When Brooks first arrived in New York, in an attempt to become a Broadway star, she dropped what she herself described as her native Kansas "hick" accent in favor of that "mid-Atlantic" accent, because that's how performers spoke at the time.

@@hux2000 I’m well aware that many people put on an accent which later became known as the transatlantic accent, but the accent she’s speaking in here is not in the slightest bit put-on and sounds 100% natural. Are you from the US? Anyone who is would tell you they’ve heard elderly people speak exactly like this, my grandmother included. Whatever you think of as the ideal transatlantic accent, it was approximately the way many many people already spoke during the first half of the 20th century.

It's on KZfaq I just watched it about a month ago. This is a snippet from her biography. They are almost at the part of talkies and her decline, she was black balled if I remember cause of the casting couch. She wouldn't degrade herself so when her first talkie pic failed they used that as an excuse to drop her. Didn't give her another chance until 1930 something with John Wayne a cowboy movie hell I would've quit to A list movies to B list cowboy movie. Edit........I just saw someone else say in another video that this is from Clara's documentary. However. Ms Gish documentary is equally fascinating and sad what the studio heads did to her.

For what she has been through, she certainly is. Sad story of her life though.

Her skin is flawless.

She was in her early 70s here, too, and she looks 15-20 years younger.

Not really

@@carltonthepug You are gorgeous of them all beyond reasonable doubt. 😘😘😘

@@kaymuldoon3575 I think she was mid 60's here...she always looked great regardless

Well, she died in 1985. So she's not with us anymore.

@@davidcoxinparisLOL. I meant at the time this interview was done.

@@davidcoxinparisspirit lives on

And Clara too..,

@@shesnailie I thought it was him! He had a very cultured, nice voice, something you don't hear much today.

It IS James Mason. archive.org/details/SilentFilmsDocumentary

Brooksie was a dancer, well below the mininmum model height,but of course I whole-heartedly agree with you, every inch on the way...

thats what i was thinking

Same ♡

I agree. My grandfather was from England, and I have been a frequent visitor myself since I was a child. After living in London for 6 years, the noticeable difference in UK speech and diction has become horrible; more and more everyone sounds like the cast of TOWIE. Sad!

It's called the Transatlantic accent. Sounds quite contrived today but it was fashionble to American upper class and showbiz folks "not from Brooklyn" at the time.

@@andershansson2245 That's no Transatlantic accent. That sing-songy rhythm in her speech was standard for large swaths, if not most, of Americans not too long ago. See William Buckley for an actual transatlantic accent.

@msmissy6888 - If Brits don't want to be insulted they need to stop behaving like trash. Brits rank as the worst tourist practically everywhere due to the fact they are drunken, uneducated yobs. Are you really unaware of this fact? I suggest you travel more. Google "UK has worst behaviour problem in Europe". And then Google "British tourist worst in the world". Brits act like uneducated yobs at home and abroad. And yes, Americans always mock how Brits speak. I'm not lying, you are just poorly informed.

I have a notion to second that emotion. A gifted actress who was also a very intelligent & articulate lady.

IS gorgeous, always was. RIP LB🤍

Seriously ! She’s one of my absolute favorites. Always had such a mysterious and unique energy to her compared to a lot of other actresses. I love Clara too, they are / were both Leo’s ♌️

She looks absolutely amazing here in this video, too. She was in her early 70s here. She looks way younger.

@@kaymuldoon3575 not sure she was in her 70's here...could be wrong but I think this footage was recorderd around 1971 as she recorded the Lulu in Berlin interview in 71 and she looks the same age in that as she does here so she was around mid 60's here (possibly)...she still looks quite striking and beautiful though. Think she has good genetics as she aged very, very well

Louise Brooks died in 1985, aged 78. If she were alive today she’d be about 117 years old. What are you even talking about?

@@Ohnoitsruthio he’s saying she looks marvellous for her old age, problem is????

@@Ohnoitsruthio- No need to ridicule her. She is not alive, obviously, and certainly not over 117. I agree very much with RB Media that Louise in her 70s looked beautiful.

Watch her in Wings and It both from 1927 I believe.

@@alexflowers97 yesss ‘ It ‘1927 is my top favorite silent film. Clara really just brings the dullness to life!

@@Mandanextdoor it’s a masterpiece I think I’m gonna put it on right now

'Enigmatic' agreed! That is the word of the day. 🏆

@@shesnailie I just hope this guy elaborates if he is telling facts

@@shesnailie lol

What a crock.She never had any children.

@@spicey6646 He said Louise was his father FIRST wife, he married her before divorcing and meeting his (Vic's) mother.

Neither wanted to continue in the movies. It would probably have destroyed Clara emotionally. Louise was never a big star in America and even less so after her European dalliance. Her current status is entirely the result of her 1950's re-discovery.

I just saw a few clips of Louise in talkies. One with a young John Wayne. Louise was tremendous. A great voice that truly succeeded in making the transition from silent films.

*Louise Brooks had beauty, brains, and class. breed(noun): class, kind = GROUP, NOT ELOQUENCE Ex: Such people are a dying breed.

@@January. Thank you.. Yes, CLASS also sounds better. Although you will frequently hear it the way I said it : with the three "Bs". Anyway, we both agree that LBrooks was a very special person with special qualities. You will hear the phrase in Alfred Hitchcock's film "Rebecca" .

@@eyraclarisse144You're obviously not a native speaker of English.

@@January. Are you a teacher, journalist, with a keen eye on the comments ? Most people do not care for grammar, or the use of a correct language in KZfaq.

@@eyraclarisse144 You're very welcome.

That's right and they were childhood friends! It's unknown whether they stayed in touch after Miss Brooks got famous in the 1920's Berlin when Miss Vance was still an unknown in Albuquerque OR during the 1950's when Miss Vance became famous as Ethel Mertz in the 1950's in LA but Miss Brooks's star had waned and she'd gone into obscurity in Rochester, New York!

Louise Brooks was your aunt?

Ha!

Yeah. And the reason she had such a tough time in Hollywood was that she was authentic and genuine. She was a real person. She'd grown up poor and never learned how to be fake, and people like Mary Pickford treated her pretty nasty because of that. :(

@@history_by_lamplight Thats interesting because Mary herself grew up poor, but the fake thing i don't know much about nor the part about her being nasty towards Clara. But I do know about her resentment towards Joan Crawford.

@@fosterglucose3214 I could be getting my details wrong, absolutely. It also seems I heard somewhere that Colleen Moore didn't treat Clara her too kindly.

@@history_by_lamplight It may be all true, such a shame that people were so mean to her. I should definitely read about Ms.Bow

@@fosterglucose3214 Definitely. ❤ She had an interesting life, but *such* a heartbreaking one. You may know this already, but when she was a teenager, she woke up once in the middle of the night to find her mom leaning over her in the dark, a knife in her hand, ready to kill her in her sleep. I think she snapped a little after that. And of course, Hollywood was one long sad episode in her life. 😟 I've always felt a special kinship with her that I can't explain. But sad as her life was, she was definitely one of the best actresses America has ever produced. ❤

Makes you wonder if Clara Bow wasn't the real life inspiration for Lina Lamont.

Namorada do Charles Chaplin

Pretty sure you can find it on youtube!

@@mysteryy.static I did a “ half assed” search awhile back; but I’m gonna try it again and add HER name to it. Thanks!🎥

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrSAYM923KvWopc.html this link will get you there

@@buska100 thank you, I have viewed it already. I am thinking the thumbnail is when Louise is talking about how her then husband wouldn’t invite Clara Bow to a party bc she was from Brooklyn (?) . What a snob! I think Clara Bow was really “ IT” and so very contemporary and ahead of her time. I’d love to see interviews and the like ,with her talking . But alas , it is not to be. A lot of the fashions in “ PANDORA” could be worn today with a touch of updating. I really liked the film.

@@bobbyantonelli7978 So True. Cheers Mate

I remember this. It was a brilliant UK ITV documentary series called Hollywood, narrated by James Mason, shown in 1979. Carl Davies scored the series and the movie clips which were shown. Many figures of the 1920s appeared, Louise Brooks was something of a sensation as, like you, no one knew what had happened to her. Adela Rogers St Johns, mentioned here, was a terrific interviewee. I remember Anita Loos, Douglas Fairbanks Jr, King Vidor, Lillian Gish, Colleen Moore, Gloria Swanson were all interviewed in it.

There's alot

Louise Brooks actually ended up writing essays of film criticism, and her work was well respected.

Very surprised at her posh American accent.

@@giovanna8187 She talked about how hard she worked to shed her Kansan accent.

Intelligent, beautiful and an icon forever..... how wonderful would it been to be around her. Way too advanced for political Hollyweird.

She died in 1965.

She didn't leave her new phone number.

I doubt they interviewed her just about Clara. This is just a section of a much longer interview.

Bingo! "Boy, you are just hittin' on all six cylinders aren't'cha? My God. "

Naw, Clara was nice and cool.

@@nhdad3439 And no dummy or meanness like Lamont. She just had a Brooklyn accent.
