A World Premiere. The first book ever written about Louise Weber (La Goulue). Hundreds of photos, illustrations and drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec who immortalized this legend. Louise was the creator of the French Can Can. And during the golden era of Montmartre, La Goulue was the undisputed queen of Parisian cabarets. Once upon a time she threw money right and left. Tragically she ended her life homeless and died toothless and forgotten in the streets of Paris. This is the story of the rise and fall of FranceÕs First and Greatest Cabaret Can Can star, written by Maximillien de Lafayette who wrote more than 80 books on Hollywood, superstars, showbiz, entertainment, music and performing arts.
