Title: Revealing self portrait
Product review: Though she states in one of the later essays in the book why she would never write her autobiography, Louise Brooks reveals so much of herself in writing about her times and the people she knew, that the book reads like an autobiography. She lived in the moment, doing what she wanted to do. She had many affairs, she was a kept woman, a mistress, an actress, an artist. She did things her way, the devil be damned. It may have cost her in the end as she hints. Sometimes there is a high price to pay for freedom. Her writing is open, honest, with great portraits of the people she knew and worked with during her silent film career. It is a great read for those interested in movies and the people that made them. Well worth your time.
