WOMAN and TIME: Clara Bow. The first It Girl

[@andrewbrendan1579]

No surprise that Clara Bow was successful in silent films: her face was so expressive; she conveyed so much without sound. In "Lulu in Hollywood" and maybe also in an interview, Louise Brooks talked about what an excellent actress Clara Bow was. Clara Bow once talked about how when she needed to cry for a scene she would just think about her childhood and then the tears would come. I think that Clara Bow was a natural Method actress and maybe without even knowing she was. A lot of smiles in the photos but sometimes there is such sadness in her Clara Bow's eyes.---Is the footage starting at 6:04 a rare example of color film from the 20's or was the color added later?---I believe that Clara Bow once appeared on TV in an episode of "The Untouchables" starring Robert Stack. It would have been great if that episode had been done a silent TV episode but at the same time it allowed audiences to hear Clara Bow speak.

Clara Bow had a difficult childhood.

[@gloriahanes6490]

Clara Bow had more expression in one eye than (all) of Hollywood today!

[@PatrickWilson47]

Thank you so much for doing this tribute. I still love watching "Wings"

[@WOMENandTIME]

You are welcome!

[@telephilia]

In her heyday she was quite the looker and, unlike many silent film and early talkie stars, does not look dated today.

[@derekjohannesson5444]

[@JimmyG1776]

[@chrisfleming8908]

What a beautiful girl an angel and a great actress ❤

[@rolandrozen]

Nice music!

[@tommyvictorbuch6960]

Those eyes...

[@carriebishop8568]

Woman in time that was a nice touch and surprise when I saw how black and white changed to color in Clara Bows yellow dress

[@WOMENandTIME]

I'm very glad that you liked this effect. I'm studying a new program. For me, now it's important not to overdo the effects, but I really want to try everything.

[@carriebishop8568]

I do agree with that. Don't over do it. Because what made you so wonderful is that you keep it simple and the photographs that we look at you do slowly and not too fast so we can really pay attention and look at every detail without going to another picture. Take care

Cute Looking Very Adorable !

[@tracyyoung224]

I still enjoy watching "Call her Savage" The first talkie I ever saw Clara Bow in.

[@Moosetta]

Adore that movie.

[@DebbieFan70]

She was quite pretty.

[@harryknackers7892]

DAMMIT - now I'm in love with Clara Bow.

[@louiesamuel9189]

There was a band in Hollywood in the 1980s called Clara Bow. They were great.

[@Heartbeat214]

0:35 Clara is flashing the old Devil Horns

[@YasirAraparrot]

Never got to show her talents to their full extent as she was never cast into a serious role. Too bad as the executives just wanted to stick with "what works" for the money.

[@chrisyonts9652]

*The It Girl

[@СамираКурашинова-я6ч]

Very good.Make a video about Maria Nikolaevna Romanova.

[@sFlapperGirl]

They made one about Olga Romanova

[@СамираКурашинова-я6ч]

1920's Flapper Girl I know. But I want to see a video about Tatiana Maria and Anastasia Romanovs.

[@WOMENandTIME]

They were so young. It will be so sad.

[@WOMENandTIME]

Татьяна kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp7PoWanqp6AhdE Марию и Анастасию тоже сделаю.

[@sFlapperGirl]

The Anastasia one would be interesting because there are speculation that she lived the shooting.

[@danielsousariassouzadias9788]

Betiboop e.a.clara bow

[@DebbieFan70]

Could you make a video of my favorite actress, Marlene Dietrich?

[@smiledaisy1010]

What’s a IT girl

[@carlrudd1858]

I'm not buying all this 'raised in poverty' stuff. Family portrait photography is expensive regardless of what decade you live in. She looks well dressed and well groomed in every one, of which there are MANY.

[@judyvalencia3257]

I don't know what to believe. I just got through watching a documentary on her that claimed her mother and her were both in mental facilities. That as she got older she received shock treatments and ended up living in a small apt. that she rarely left. Now I see that she was married and had 2 boys and looks like she had a decent life. I'd rather believe this one with pictures of a happy family life.

[@nataliep.9047]

judy valencia; Her marriage to cowboy actor Rex Bell ended in divorce and she died a semi-reclusive has-been, although not totally forgotten do to the campy nostalgia craze of the late '50's and '60's. Her mother was a nut case and Clara awoke one night to see her mother standing over her bed with a butcher knife before the woman passed out and had a chance to attack. Clara's father raped her when she was a girl. Clara developed a history of psychological problems and was under psychiatric care. I can't remember if she was ever actually committed to a mental institution, but all of this data is easily available on line, and there is a good book on Clara available, as well as a tabloid book that almost came to litigation.

[@helixmoore7636]

I see some Drew Barrymore

[@auletjohnast03638]

CLARA BOW CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO LOUISE BROOKS.

[@papag3no790]

Nonsense.

[@telephilia]

Louise Brooks herself, based on an TV interview she gave in her old age, would probably disagree with you, as do I.
