A lovely Clara Bow image. One of the biggest stars of the silent era. If you're familiar with the term "It" girl, well, she was the first one!
Born into poverty and misery, she did the best she could with her beauty, energy, and never-give-up attitude, and she did really damn well! Wikipedia offers a fine bio on their page with lots of information. It's a bit depressing...she really did have a rough time, so don't go there unless you're ready for it.
You could also follow the link below to Youtube and watch "It," the silent romantic comedy that pushed her over the top and into stardom.
It's lots of fun, with a very nice musical track (something that can really make or break the experience of watching a silent film for us). A very simple plot, basic romance, but what is often said about Miss Bow is evident in this movie, she really did raise the entire film up with her presence, and shone.
Incidentally, Louise Brooks, a big name among film buffs and collectors these days, recalled Clara Bow as being a tremendously important part of the silent era, and loved this film particularly. Bring popcorn :)
