~Silent Film Star, Clara Bow~
CLARA BOw: a short biography BY WILLIAM CRAMER To posterity, film buffs, and historians alike Clara Bow will forever be the "It" girl…"the royal mounted policeman of sex who always gets her man" at the end of every film. Granted many older fans who are still alive today remember her with love and affection. She was often cast as a waitress, a manicurist, or a salesgirl. The ever plucky and ever resourceful Clara would predictably set her sights on the prize (a handsome male). Armed with her natural vivaciousness, cunning, sensuousness, and irresistible charm, Clara's character would rise above her lowly station in life and obtain her goal. "Clara Bow lit up the screen as much as-if not more than-any other star in history. She is three- dimensional in her presence, and this quality projected onto her down to earth, regular-guy flappers, makes her seem terribly real and true to audiences." (Silent Stars by Jeanine Basinger, Alfred A. Knopf, 1999 p.448). But like so many of the great actors of yesteryear, rumors and legend have a way of superceding the truth. They have a way of distorting the facts and thereby eliminating any knowledge of what made Clara the truly talented phenomenon that she actually was.

Oh Mary congratulations on this beauty! I am saving this to my favs for two reasons. First, because it is so absolutely gorgeous. Second, because everyone always used to tell me that my mother looked like Clara Bow, and it will always remind me of her.
Great job again Mary!
