Louise had extremely pointed and blunt opinions about Hollywood and actors. Louise remember never wanted to be an actress, her focus was dancing and acting was just a way to make money. It never was a goal of hers. Whenever much later, when Louise’s performance in her European silents were praised and she was told she was the first natural actress, she always corrected and insisted that it wasn’t the truth and gave all credit to Clara Bow…she wasn’t having it 😋 So I wouldn’t say Clara was a rival by any means, but here in this interview and if you watch others of Brooks, she doesn’t smile much or have a joyful tone when discussing Hollywood. So you can hear and see her extremely great affection and respect for Clara.

It's on KZbin I just watched it about a month ago. This is a snippet from her biography. They are almost at the part of talkies and her decline, she was black balled if I remember cause of the casting couch. She wouldn't degrade herself so when her first talkie pic failed they used that as an excuse to drop her. Didn't give her another chance until 1930 something with John Wayne a cowboy movie hell I would've quit to A list movies to B list cowboy movie. Edit........I just saw someone else say in another video that this is from Clara's documentary. However. Ms Gish documentary is equally fascinating and sad what the studio heads did to her.

Kind of like Marilyn Monroe didn't exist off the screen. I read a quote from Clara Bow. Paraphrasing, I slip my IT girl crown, not to Taylor, not to Bardot, but to Monroe. They had a lot in common, horrific childhoods, both of their mothers were schizophrenic.

Louise also was under pressure to change her accent - coming from Kansas to New York in the early 1920s, she was told she sounded like a 'hayseed', so she adopted the 'New York stage' way of speaking.

She looks like the girl in the Coconut Grove scene in “Aviator”.
