Louise Brooks, 78, jazz-age actress of rare beauty and artless eroticism who animated the silents' stereotype of the flapper in such films as Love 'Em and Leave 'Em (1926), deepened and darkened her allure in A Girl in Every Port (1928) and reached her apex as Lulu, the embodiment of sexual energy and evil in Austrian Filmmaker G.W. Pabst's Pandora's Box and its sequel Diary of a Lost Girl (1929); of a heart attack; in Rochester. Unable or unwilling to accommodate to the Hollywood system, she saw her star fade out by 1940. Her crisp essays of reminiscence and criticism, collected in the 1982 Lulu in Hollywood, faithfully and unflatteringly chronicle her career." - brief obituary in American magazine
