I have linked to Seraphic Secrets a few times in the past, but Libertas recommended the following links to pieces there that include one to an essay about Louise Brooks, the smoldering and secretive siren of the 20s movies. If you are a movie fanatic go there for an hour or so of wonderful reading today. I posted a very good piece HERE. Brooks continues to fascinate to this day. The "scandalous" photo at the bottom was the usual European stuff at the time, taken at a point in her life when she was so drunk all of the time that she had to be carried to the set and propped up every day.
