This is based on the silent-film star-turned-elusive actress Louise Brooks. The script tells the life story of Brooks, who was born in 1906 in Kansas. She went on to star in more than two dozen films, most notably "Pandora's Box," "A Girl in Every Port" and "Beggars of Life." Known for her strong-willed ways -- and her trendsetting bobbed hair -- Brooks then moved to Germany, where she starred in several German productions. It was in Europe that she became a recluse, hiding away from the public eye until she was rediscovered in her later years after she was given a typewriter that she used to write a series of essays about her life. The beginning of Campbell's project finds Brooks in her solitude and then traces back the story of her life.
