The purpose of the LBS is to promote interest in the actress

fellowship of her admirers. To this end, the LBS has published books, mounted exhibits, and put on events and screenings.
Future projects include ongoing
development of its website, blog, and social media presence, as well as the publication of new material about the
actress in the form of both books and e-books. The LBS has also begun creating video shorts and podcasts for its YouTube channel. Other projects
are on the drawing board.
