| - Clara Gordon Bow (July 29, 1905 - September 27, 1965) was an American actress who rose to stardom in the silent film era of the 1920s. Her acting artistry and high spirits made her the premier flapper and the film It (1927) made her world famous. Bow came to personify the “roaring twenties” and is described as its leading sex symbol.
- Clara Bow's extended brush with greatness captivated the hearts and loins of an adoring public as an entire generation was schooled in what "IT" meant. Because when Clara batted her large ocelot-sized eyes at the camera, even catholics couldn't resist her charms, succumbed to sin, and sprayed holy water all over the place. She was such a sexy person, and by far the sexiest Hollywood star whose movies you've never seen. Much like Marilyn Monroe, only more animated and then more dead.

| - Clara Bow's extended brush with greatness captivated the hearts and loins of an adoring public as an entire generation was schooled in what "IT" meant. Because when Clara batted her large ocelot-sized eyes at the camera, even catholics couldn't resist her charms, succumbed to sin, and sprayed holy water all over the place. She was such a sexy person, and by far the sexiest Hollywood star whose movies you've never seen. Much like Marilyn Monroe, only more animated and then more dead. Clara Bow was a flapper (what now? some kind of bird? a dolphin?) and, although short, frumpy, and burdened with not having a very long neck by today's standards, she was Hollywood's first and cutest female sex symbol. Actually Hollywood's second, but you never hear of Lillian Gish anymore, who was usually portrayed as a depressed and needy little girl you'd like to cuddle up to. Clara Bow's movies are hardly ever shown today. So if you want to know more about her you might want to share-file them, give Bing and YouTube a try, or just ask your great-grandparents. She's your great-grandpa's dream-then-let's-cream girl, so if he's still alive and can string two emotions together, he still loves her. And he still dances the lindy to her films. If he can. Bottom-line, of the opening section at least: Like old-timey people know, Clara Bow was hot before hot was the new sis boom bah.
