Happy Birthday to an ultimate film icon, underrated film actress of the silent screen. The independent, defiant, fierce rebel dancer, actor, author Louise Brooks B. November 14, 1906 D. August 8, 1985. “How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything -- spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying.' I tried with all my heart.” #louisebrooks #happybirthdaylouisebrooks ultimatefilmicon #filmicon #lulu #pandorasbox #diaryofalostgirl #beggarsoflife #thecanarymurdercase #itstheoldarmygame #loveemandleaveem #agirlineveryport #misseurope https://www.instagram.com/p/CWSFBplsI91/?utm_medium=tumblr
