Despite her relatively brief career, Louise Brooks’ image and legacy have lived on. Today, the actress is one of the more popular silent film stars on the internet, or what they used to call “cyberspace”. (Hence the title of this page, “Lulu in Cyberspace”, which goes back to the earliest incarnation of this site, circa 1995.) Except for Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton or Laurel & Hardy, Brooks is the subject of more websites and more fan pages than just about any early film star. Additionally, there are related pages which feature the actress.
Launched in 1995, the Louise Brooks Society was the first website devoted to the actress. Over the years, other webpages about the actress have come and gone. What follows is a curated list of some of the current websites, fan pages, tributes and social media accounts related to Brooks. All together, they help piece together and put into context the story of Louise Brooks. Please note: links open in a new window or tab.
If you have created a site, or if you know of a relevant page not included here, please notify the Louise Brooks Society via its CONTACT page. We are happy to consider any and all worthwhile suggestions for inclusion. [Not listed here are those crappy and unoriginal sites which are little more than aggregates of material lifted from this site and elsewhere on the internet.]
