• For Beldam was better known as the movie cowboy Rex Bell, who had just signed a 10-picture deal, and the girl he was to marry was none other than the beleaguered silent film star, "It Girl" Clara Bow.
• For the past 10 years, Bow had been bobbing up and down in the mean current of early Hollywood. ...
• Born in Brooklyn and raised in abject poverty by a schizophrenic mother and an alcoholic father, Clara was handicapped from the get-go in a world that required more decorum and pretending off screen than on. ...
• Clara, unable to stifle her exuberant personality--the same personality that made her such a hit in the movies--was crucified by a hostile media. ... Deserted by her studio, most of her Hollywood friends, and hounded by the press, there was only one person left in Clara's world that she could count on: the cowboy in the eternal white hat, Rex Bell. ...
• "I'm taking her out of this town," Rex told the few loyal supporters left in Clara's Hollywood camp, "and she's not coming back. ...

• THE CLARA BOW PAGE.
• Yet the barely adolescent Clara Bow "spent hours imitating" Pickford before a mirror, according to Bow's biographer, David Stenn. The spotless image of Pickford, the permanent child, dramatizes the contrast between "America's Sweetheart" and Bow, the arch-flapper of the 1920's, born in 1907. ...
• , Turner Classic Movies will show a documentary, "Clara Bow: Discovering the 'It' Girl," and three of her films. Bow, the quicksilver hedonist who lived in and for the present, was Paramount's most profitable star and the most popular female performer of the late silent era. ...
• Scott Fitzgerald wrote, "Clara Bow is the quintessence of what the term 'flapper' signifies": a young woman who was "pretty, impudent, superbly assured, as worldly-wise, briefly-clad and 'hard-berled' as possible. ...
• Schulberg to state that Bow had "It," more so than any actress in Hollywood. ...
• In Bow's movies, she pursued men, as she did in her own life. ... But only an inept director would have chosen Bow for a passive role: she functioned like a short-range missile. ...
• Portraying zestful headlong flappers, Bow's essence is energy: she never walks when she can run or dance. ...
• O N the screen Bow seems to be governed by high spirits. ... Even more successful at the box office than Garbo, Bow was dissed in Hollywood, partly because of her tenement background -- all too similar to some of her haughty colleagues' origins -- but also because of the scandals that swirled around her. ...
• And talkies terrified her; stricken with "mike fright," she had a crack-up on the set of "Kick In" (1931), Schulberg called her "Crisis-a-Day-Clara," and she made her last movie, "Hoopla," at the age of 26. ...
• The Bow documentary, directed by Hugh Munro Neely, is huskily narrated by Courtney Love; the film critic and historian Leonard Maltin, Bow's co-star Buddy Rogers and one of her sons, Rex Bell Jr. ... The writer Budd Schulberg, son of the producer, recalls Bow's insecurity and naïveté, which surely intensified her miseries. ...
• TCM offers "Down to the Sea in Ships" (1922) with Bow as a rebellious tomboy who slugs men who exasperate her; the movie sags between those scenes. ... "The Wild Party" (1929), directed by the gifted Dorothy Arzner -- who had not yet developed her own style -- was Bow's first talkie. ...

• Cast: Clara Bow, Clive Brook.
• On An Island With Bow .
• Clara Bow.
• Though Mantrap (1926) and It (1927) are more well known, Hula (1927) is a film that shows off Clara Bow at her most exciting. ... If you have any interest in Bow, Hula is well worth searching out.
• Bow is one of the great silent stars and she made fifty-seven films in eleven years. ... Consequently, Bow was almost always a diamond in the rough—her top class vehicles can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
• Hula is among them because of Victor Fleming's direction and the casting of Clive Brook as her love interest (the pairing of amphetamine Clara and stodgy yet satirical Brook makes for an amusing contrast. ) Fleming, who directed Bow in Mantrap, was having a hot-and-heavy affair with the It Girl, and he gets the best out of her in Hula. ...
• Hula is from start to finish a star vehicle, and an expert one, a real Clara Bow movie. It knows who Clara Bow is, what suits her best and what doesn't. ... ” We first see our Bow heroine, Hula Calhoun, bathing in the nude (perhaps a cleaner transfer will someday yield a Bow nipple or two—as Dorothy Parker quipped, “It, hell; she had Those. ") Fleming goes from a tantalizing long shot of Clara, nude and stretched lengthwise in the water, to a purely hedonistic close-up of this woman he loved, as she douses herself greedily with water. ...
• Clara, of course, proves to be another enticing irrigation project for the Englishman, but he's inhibited and shocked by this modern 20s woman, who unblushingly shows him her bee-stung thigh. When Bow first sees Brook, she blinks her eyes dreamily and expresses very subtle delight at the prospect of this new man—she was an actress who could come up with perfect and evocative small details, so that her films are often bouquets of such instinctive inspirations.
• When she sees his wife kissing up to him, Clara parodies her genteel mannerisms and stuck-up airs in an extended shot. Even though he is married, Bow goes after Brook ferociously, in the needy, hot-tempered way that distinguished her as an actress and epitomized the brief era of sexual independence granted women by the Roaring Twenties.

• The film starred Clara as a shop girl who was asked out by the store's owner. ... This movie did a lot to change society's mores as there was only a few years between World War I and Clara Bow, but this movie went a long way in how society looked at itself. Clara was flaming youth in rebellion. ...
• Clara was confined to a sanatorium from time to time and was not allowed access to her loving sons very often.

• Clara Bow.
• One of the loveliest and most talented actresses of the late 1920s, Bow was largely unappreciated by critics, though adored by her fans. Clara Bow endured a Dickensian childhood (abusive father, psychotic mother) in Brooklyn, which she tried to escape by becoming an actress. Winning a beauty contest, Bow was doing bit parts by 1923. ...
•      Bow was signed by Paramount in 1926 and her star immediately rose with good roles in good films: as Alice Joyce's selfish daughter in "Dancing Mothers", a brilliant turn as a Klondike bride in "Mantrap", as Eddie Cantor's leading lady in "Kid Boots" (all 1926). Bow achieved her greatest notoriety with the lead role in "It" (1927), which earned her the tag of the "It" girl--a quintessential Jazz Age term which suggested modernity, independence and sexual liberation. Several more hits followed, displaying Bow's increasingly impressive talent: "Children of Divorce" (1927), "Wings" (1927), "Ladies of the Mob" (1928).
•      Clara Bow's career ended with the talkies, for several reasons, her Brooklyn accent being the least of them. ... After making a total of 11 talkies (the best being the bizarre 1932 "Call Her Savage"), Bow retired with husband Rex Bell to Nevada. ...
