CIara Gordon Bow (1905 - 1965) was born to a life of poverty in Brooklyn, New York. An avid moviegoer in her teens, she entered a movie magazine s "Fame and Fortune" contest in hopes of escaping her dreary upbringing. Winning through sheer determination, she was soon cast in her first hit, Down to the Sea in Ships (1922). SeveraI more successes foIIowed, before Bow starred in lt (1927), in which she played a shop girI turned flapper. Afterwards, she would be forever known as the "It" Girl. Her bobbed haircut, shapely figure, and free-spirited lifestyIe made her the roIe modeI of choice for young women in the 1920s. Whether because of the arrival of sound or unsubstantiated rumors about her personaI Iife, CIara retired from acting in 1933 at the age of 28, but her timeless appeaI stiII makes her beIoved today. |
