Clara Bow - She's Got It

[@zuzupetals1999]

Clara was Incredible. Still one of the most beautiful and captivating women of the silver screen. If she showed up in Hollywood now, she would put them all to shame.

I think this woman was one of the sexiest females in history!! Her eyes are SO hypnotizing---and that adorable pouty face with those cupid lips--MAN she really and truly had IT!! She was just so luscious!! And the IT factor was because it seemed to come so naturally to her---to me the film is about her character using the IT factor not in a threatening or manipulative way but in a free, liberated, confident, and sexy way! She truly was in many respects way ahead of her time!!

[@johnmagill3072]

Clara had an incredibly expressive face. She was staggeringly beautiful.

[@robhoffhines630]

Look at the rapid fire of emotions in about 4 seconds starting a :50. Forget her appeal (which is amazing), that's just damn good technique. Not only can you feel what that character is feeling, you're rooting for her too. Amazing.

For my money, Clara was the most drop-dead gorgeous lady in movie history. And with enormous talent, too.

[@johnmagill7714]

There's 5 ladies from the entire history of film, that were the total package for me. Clara Bow, Lilian Gish, Hedy Lemar, Gene Tierny, And Maurene O' Hara. There were others I liked, but these ladies were it for me.

It wasn’t enormous enough to make through to sound.

[@rickazevedosilva]

I was going to say the same thing

[@Call-me-Al]

Isn't it a reference that just got lost to time, the same way bugs bunny's carroted "What's up, Doc?" was directly a reference, that then people lost the original context for. To use yet another BB example, Nimrod was used sarcastically, like how "No Shit, Sherlock" is these decades, except Sherlock would have been forgotten and people would have used Sherlock as a shorthand for an idiot.

[@bacsi19461]

I read the biography of her. she hit big when she was only in her teens. she got the cold shoulder from all of the phonies who thought they were better than a little uneducated gal from Brooklyn. It just made me like her more. My mom was born the same year as her (1905) and loved her movies. I felt really bad for her after reading David Steens book but it is good. Its called Running Wild and i highly recommend it. She did nothing anyone else did, she was jsut honest about what she did and the rest of them lied.

[@SpiderMan-ni8ek]

+bacsi19461 Don't overly glorify her. She stepped on a lot of people along the way to her success too. She even mocked people who were in love with her. She also slept with an entire football team if that's saying something.

[@isis11965]

+Spider Man That wasnt true and was just one of many rumors about her, that one being from a trashy tabloid book called Hollywood Babylon. She had a horrific poverty stricken n abusive childhood but she stepped on no one to get to where she was. In fact she was overused and underpaid throughout her career, then tossed aside by the studios when she was emotionally n physically exhausted...

A TRUE LEGEND OF THE SILVER SCREEN

[@mjb4983]

She was so gorgeous and so sad

[@GoblinsFriend]

Grew up watching silent movies, back in the 1970's. Clara Bow was a regular on TV back then. She is spectacular, and would not be out of place today -- after all that look, while fashionable at the time, was still very unique. However, I remember being a teen in the early 80's and see lots of pop tarts, video vixens and models, from the U.K., and New York and L.A. whose style was obviously inspired -- maybe subliminally -- by Bow.

[@MildredDavisLloyd]

[@ligerzrule7]

I agree as well. She can still be as bright and current as she was back then, because she had spunk and heart and didn't give a damn.I think she was one of the most real people Hollwood had to offer and they shunned her for it, yet they went on and lived their own scandolous lives. Such hypocrysy! The sad thing is it still goes on today. Onn a lighter note, i read that in the early 90s they found one of her lost films! I hope Kino can put out on DVD soon...

Yes she did, Rudi. She died on Monday, September 27, 1965, at 12:06AM. She was 60 years of age, despite the fact that she cut two years off her age back in 1942, just before she turned 37 on July 29 of that years. She began claiming that she was "35," and from that point until her death, she always claimed she was younger than that. She was born on Saturday, July 29, 1905.

[@denisenoe3702]

Clara Bow was perfect for her time period but her appeal was era based. She did not have big breasts. She did not have big buttocks. Rather, her figure was of the clean, neat type favored during the time period, a kind of boyish breadstick look. Her eyes were fascinating, her face was amazingly cute (not necessarily beautiful), and she had an energetic manner that captivated.

[@scmckinney1]

I have read David Stenn's book and got a different take. Clara was dumped on most of her life, and simply wanted to loved. Often in this quest she reached out to the wrong source, and as was stated in the book, was a victim waiting to be victimized. A recurring theme in the book was that Clara was left alone, despite her success and popularity. I wonder what would have been her last 15 years if Dr von Hagen or Rex Bell spent their efforts reinforcing her self worth instead of her isolation.
