Fresh from her bath and wearing only a robe, Louise as Lulu quickly checks her look in Pandora’s Box (1929). Director G.W. Pabst wanted to portray Lulu the dancer as carefree, oblivious to the events around her and constantly moving forward. She has no past, only the future.

Louise sits with Keene Thompson, one of the screenwriters for Now We’re In the Air (1927). “This is my favorite publicity still because I posed it myself,” she observed in “Lulu In Hollywood.” Note the stacks of books at her feet including “The Psychology of Personality.”
