American Venus - "Fictionalized" from the true life story of Louise Brooks, the silent movie queen, star of 1929's "Pandora's Box" and lover to Charlie Chaplin, AMERICAN VENUS, is a moving and funny exploration of growing old...ungracefully. Set in 1985 Louise, now a recluse in her shuttered apartment, does daily battle with her primary care-givers, neighbours Phyllis and Frank. To her chagrin, the more she rejects her past, the more her mistakes of youth come back to haunt her.T1431951655Company EverHopeFull. Director Sarah Berger. Performer Susan Penhaligon (Louise).
