Uh, C...<i>Louise Brooks had the best haircut EVER! :)</i><br /><br />Uh, Colleen Moore had that haircut and popularized it <i>long</i> before Louise. If you took a time machine, traveled to 1928 or '29, and mentioned the page-boy 'do, at least 90 percent of the respondents would have made a reference to Colleen, not Louise. And that's nothing against Brooks as an actress or icon, just setting the record straight.VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-13121458863996818552011-08-05T14:20:51.252-04:002011-08-05T14:20:51.252-04:00I love reading other people's lists.

But she made movies with everybody and was willing to say something nasty about all of them so she makes for a great quote to spice up somebody else's entry."<br /><br />I think I laughed at this more than I should have ;D<br /><br />I'm a terrible one for not commenting on blogs (I usually feel like I have nothing to contribute) but I just wanted to say that your blog is one of my favourites. I'm trying to expand my knowledge of classic film, and as such, I find your posts really marvellous. :)Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06476748951237707978noreply@blogger.com
