Louise Brooks

Talking of Berlin, of  famous Berliners, or characters who have contributed to the legend of Berlin, we often (most often?) stumble upon girls and boys born in other German cities or even in other continents . There is Brecht, there is Billy Wilder, Vera Broido, Margo Lion, Alfred Döblin ... And just to add a name to that long list, let us remember the great Louise Brooks, the protagonist of the great classic "Lulu", Georg Pabst (1929), the woman who made popular the haircut "à la garçonne".  Born not in Friedrichshain or Kreuzberg but in Cherryvale, Kansas in 1906.
