Louise Brooks: A Biography

Rating:
Summary: The best biography I have ever read
Review: This is, without a doubt, the best biography I have ever read. I agree with the other reviewers that a big reason for that accolade is the fact that Mr. Paris writes about Louise Brooks as a person and not as a "movie star". In fact, my favorite portion of the book is the section on her life after Hollywood and prior to her writing career. Paris writes an incisive psychological portrait of a complex woman. And the last lines of the book, taken from one of Louise's letters, still haunt me--the perfect ending. Buy it, read it and treasure it.
