To get to a place like that, after having lived a life that she lived and having the success that she had, there must have been a lot of internal turmoil for her. At the end of her life, she lived alone, in a small, shitty apartment in New York, by herself. She definitely lived a really interesting life and was so inspiring, in a lot of the ways that she would act and the things that she cared about, but there was also a lot of pain. There were also things that she went through, when she was really young and in Kansas, that she never really got over.
There was a lot that was left to my imagination, based on other things that I learned, but there are things that are public knowledge, about her childhood. It was interesting and challenging to explore her when she was younger, before her fame, because there wasn’t a lot out there about her, at that time of her life. She was so ahead of her time, with the things that she went through and how she let those things effect her, and how they impacted and changed the person that she became and the person that she showed to the world. She was very complicated, from what I gathered with all of the research I did and everything that I read about her, and I think she deserves a whole movie, herself, because she really was so different than so many other women of her time. RICHARDSON: Yeah, she was definitely a really interesting person. I have to admit that I had not even heard of Louise Brooks before I watched this movie, and I was totally fascinated by her and her life.
So, even before I read the script, that was exciting and intimidating. I’d never gotten the chance to play someone that was such a known and iconic real person. HALEY LU RICHARDSON: Yeah, and it was even before I read the script, when I got this email from my agent that said, “They’re interested in you playing Louise Brooks.” I Googled Louise Brooks because I didn’t one hundred percent know who was, to be honest, and I immediately figured out that she was iconic.
