Louise Brooks **SOLD**

Louise Brooks, by Barry Paris (HC, 1989, $3, but has loose spine.)

Brooks was a major silent film star, who rejected Hollywood when they thought her voice unsuitable for talking movies. She never made it back to the top, but she was not forgotten. Friends brought her to Rochester where she soon began to live the life of a recluse. The first American, post-1920s public screenings of all  of Louise's major films took place at the George Eastman's Dryden Theatre in Rochester. (Thank you, Mr. Card)

Look for this book in the local section.
