Louise Brooks
Paramount Studios Film Still from THE AMERICAN VENUS
1925 · New York City, New York

Being by this time a seasoned dancer and Ziegfeld showgirl, playing a movie version of a beauty pageant contestant wasn't a stretch for Louise Brooks. Centered around the 1925 Miss America Pageant held in Atlantic City, THE AMERICAN VENUS was a piece of fluff constructed around the newest holder of that title, Fay Lamphier. Two trailers are all that remain of this film, whose other notable feature was the use of the two-strip technicolor process.
