Louise Brooks with William "Buster" Collier, Jr. and Dorothy Mackaill | First National Film Still from JUST ANOTHER BLONDE 1926

During the making of JUST ANOTHER BLONDE (as it was eventually called after nearly half a dozen working titles) Brooks nonchalantly requested a day off for the purpose of being wed. Director Alfred Santell granted his stunned permission, and Louise rushed off to become Mrs. Edward Sutherland. At the time she was also carrying on a short-lived affair with co-star Buster Collier: "the only actor [she] ever cared for." Through Collier she would come to know another, more famous Buster (Keaton), about whom she would write an adoring essay many years later.
