A dancer, silent film actress and writer. As a silent screen star she immortalized the flapper culture and style. Now an icon of this past age, Louise never was a success in Hollywood. She is adored by cult  film afficiendos for her classics, Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl.

As French critic Ado Kyrou wrote, "Louise is the perfect apparition, the dream woman, the being without whom the cinema would be a poor thing. She is much more than a myth, she is a magical presence, a real phantom, the magnetism of the cinema."
