Louise Brooks’ Memoir Lulu in Hollywood (with Mallory O'Meara)

Author Mallory O’Meara (Reading Smut) joins Chelsea to break down silent film legend Louise Brooks’ scorched-earth essay collection “Lulu in Hollywood.” Louise floods the book with tea from the Golden Age of Hollywood, dragging Humphrey Bogart and torching the studio system that abandoned her. Chelsea and Mallory also spill bonus tea, calling out Charlie Chaplin. Plus, they explore why Louise’s era wasn’t so golden, and why her rage still hits hard in 2025.
