Drink The Lulu Learn More>In honor of Louise Brooks' most famous character, Lulu, but more in keeping with sitting on the porch on a Wichita summer night, watching the sunset and drinking this sweet, seductive deliciousness out of a mason jar until the fireflies come out.
Fill a mason jar filled with muddled strawberries, fresh basil, a splash of Aperol and St. Germain, ice, and top it off with Prosecco.
Many thanks to the Foodinista for the recipe and celebrity caterer Lulu Powers for inventing it. -
Eat Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake Learn More>If you've ever tasted Tate's Chocolate Chip Cookies in all their wafer-thin, crisp deliciousness, you know that they can be your undoing. One leads to another, and before you've even had a chance to stop yourself, they are gone.
The Barefoot Contessa has taken these cookies and made them into an icebox cake that is part New York (with Tate's cookies coming from Southampton), part Kansas, and a hedonist's delight. -
Listen to What Made Louise Brooks the "Unrepentant Hedonist" Learn More>As documentarian Richard Leacock said, "She was the most seductive, sexual image of woman ever committed to celluloid. She's the only unrepentant hedonist, the only pure pleasure seeker I think I've ever known." This clip from the documentary "Why Be Good? Sexuality and Censorship in Early Cinema" tells us more about the legend of Louise Brooks.

Do Read Louise Brooks' Essays Learn More>About the Book
Louise Brooks (1906-1985) is one of the most famous actresses of the silent era, renowned as much for her rebellion against the Hollywood system as for her performances in such influential films as Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl. Eight autobiographical essays by Brooks, on topics ranging from her childhood in Kansas and her early days as a Denishawn and Ziegfeld Follies dancer to her friendships with Martha Graham, Charles Chaplin, W. C. Fields, Humphrey Bogart, William Paley, G. W. Pabst, and others are collected here. New to this edition is the revelatory "Why I Will Never Write My Memoirs" by Brooks and "The Girl in the Black Helmet" by Kenneth Tynan, which brought about the revival of interest in her work and was the best discussion of Brooks's film work to appear in her lifetime.
"The writing is assured, graceful, and magnetic; the life the dancer-actress-author describes makes most fiction trivial by comparison. . . . This is no ordinary collection of gossipy memoirs. It is a tour de force, as history and as a searching study of human nature." Publishers Weekly
"Brooks is brilliantly perceptive and articulate on everything from the art of film directing to the comedy of W. C. Fields." New York Times
"A minor classic." Film Quarterly
