Louise Brooks' film career began in 1925 with a small part in the Herbert Brenon film The Street of Forgotten Men. During the following three years, 1926 through 1928, she appeared in a number of mostly Paramount films (comedies and the occassional dramatic role), and enjoyed considerable popularity in United States. Her work in Germany and France in 1929 and 1930 brought even greater acclaim in Europe. With the actresses' return to the United States, Brooks' career fell into decline. She appeared in some half-dozen movies between 1931 and 1938.

This page highlights some of the more interesting websites devoted to silent film - listed here are websites devoted to Brooks contemporaries, co-stars and friends in the film world. The intent of this page is to place Brooks' film work in a larger context of the silent film era.
