    F. Scott Fitzgerald's muse?
    I'm so glad she enjoyed her time on earth! Beautiful and talented!
    Thanks, Stephen

    Our Miss Brooks (not Eve Arden)
    The American girl from Kansas who became a sensation in Europe.
    The bobbed hair, the makeup and a genuine charisma made her a trendsetter,
    more so than all the flappers combined. Our Miss Brooks had "IT".
    Just watch her in the films Pandoras Box and Diary of a Lost Girl (both Germany 1929)
    or Prix de Beaute (France 1930).
