One of the best scenes of film history, Louise Brooks in “Diary of a Lost Girl”, 1929 “Lost” daughter runs into her father in a nightclub... Everything about Brooks, who died in 1985, was contradictory. She was the American midwesterner (born in Wichita, in the Kansas corn belt), who projected European sensuality and sophistication; the Hollywood actress whose best work was done in Germany. She was the promiscuous “flapper” whose refusal to sleep with studio bosses may have cost her her career.
