Clara Bow Framed Print
Clara Gordon Bow, destined to become "The It Girl", was born on July 29, 1905 in Brooklyn, New York, and was raised in poverty and violence. Her often absentee and brutish father could not or did not provide and her schizophrenic mother tried to slit Clara's throat when the girl spoke of becoming an actress.
Her appearance as a plucky shopgirl in the film It brought her global fame and the nickname "The It Girl". In the film she slaps her boss for asking for a kiss after a night out. Bow came to personify the Roaring Twenties and is described as its leading sex symbol.

✨ Clara Bow Quotes:
"The more I see of men, the more I like dogs."
"People used to say that I had a feeling of closeness, a great warmth of loving everybody, that they could tell me their troubles."
"Wally Reid was my first sweetheart, though I never saw him except on the screen. He was Sir Galahad in all his glory. I worshiped Mary Pickford. How kind and gentle and loving she was. Maybe there were people like that in the world."
