After reading The Parade’s Gone By, Bow’s fellow silent film star Louise Brooks personally wrote to Kevin Brownlow and admonished him for giving her a whole chapter while giving Bow zilch. As the sassy broad wrote, “You brush off Clara Bow for some old nothing like Brooks.” Brooks' letter actually had the intended effect. He had gotten married, and although it was a struggle, he managed to keep afloat. Then in 1917 he met showman and producer Florenz Ziegfeld, and secured a contract to do all the images for the ‘Ziegfeld Follies’ for the next fifteen years. But it was this affiliation that elevated him to being able to start photographing everything from aspiring actresses and society matrons to a wide range of upscale retail commercial products for magazine ads. After the release of Down the Sea in Ships, Bow became an absolute sensation— but that fame came with a high price. Up until this point, Bow had been working in her hometown of New York, but Hollywood soon offered her a contract. In the blink of an eye, Bow left everything to travel west to Tinseltown…and she soon found out it was a snake pit.

Soon enough, Bow’s wild lifestyle caught up to her in a big way. The beautiful Bow was pretty indiscriminate about where she lay her head, and her habits always got her into hot water if her bed-mate was actually, uh, married. A woman even once brought Bow to divorce court for stealing her husband. And a bigger scandal was on the horizon… Clara was always a charmer with men, but she was also deeply damaged. Half her playmates nursed crushes on the young Bow, and one of her best school friends friends even tried to kiss her. Bow’s response? She said she was “horrified and hurt” by the gesture. Well, can you blame her for having a such a maladjusted view of affection? was born in 1885 in New York. As he was born into a very affluent family of bankers, his turn to photography was a bit curious to everyone. He began by painting and illustration at the National Academy of Design in New York. However, his endeavors into making a living as a portrait painter were unsuccessful. Hence, although he had a bit of camera experience using a camera to record his painting subjects, he jumped into photography as his new creative medium. A huge treasure trove of extremely artistic full-nude and semi-nude full-figure studio photos with all the glass-plate negatives were found stored at a farm near Oxford, Connecticut, where he had lived since the 1940’s. Most were showgirls from the Ziegfeld Follies, plus a great storehouse of both aspiring and known actors and actresses.Throughout her entire career—and particularly during her tragic end—Bow was incredibly emotionally fragile. Though this is exactly what helped her cry at the drop of a hat, Tuttle also noted that it made Bow “full of nervous energy and pitifully eager to please everyone.” Soon enough, this tendency would ravage Bow. When Sarah was just a teenager, she fell from a second-story window and was never the same again. She suffered seizures and psychosis from the ensuing head injury, and Bow grew up learning how to control her mother during these fits. A young child taking care of a parent is never a good thing, but then the situation took a truly bitter turn.

The films she went on to make there included some silent classics: they, and she, were precociously flirtatious, youthful and saucy. “Flapper” movies such as The Plastic Age or Dancing Mothers were perfect for Bow, who had a stunning ability to move naturally in front of the camera, bobbing and smirking with humour and sexiness. Bow became a hugely popular actor, and, in tabloid-speak, a notorious wild child. On screen she epitomised the joie de vivre and permissiveness of the jazz age, and for many people she remains the ultimate flapper, the “It girl”, with charm and sex appeal to spare.The film clip doesn’t offer much to see, but still is risqué and, therefore, very typical of 1930-34 movies. Bow starred in the first movie to ever win Best Picture at the Oscars. That would be Wings in 1927. The director William Wellman described her as “mad and crazy, but WHAT a personality!”

Sex in Cinema: 1927-1929 Greatest and Most Influential Erotic

Steve Allen was a genius pioneer of the early television talk show format, but ultimately he was fairly conventional. The way I’d put it is Steve Allen was a genius pioneer of conventional television talk shows while Ernie Kovacs was a genus pioneer of unconventional television talks shows. Mind you, Kovacs was too unconventional to be mainstream and it’s possible Allen could have pioneered similar ideas but simply realized they wouldn’t attract large audiences. When she was trying to make it in movies, the petite and cute Bow said casting directors always turned her down— for one disturbing reason. As she confessed, “I was too young, or too little, or too fat. Usually I was too fat.” Need I remind you that she was 16 years old at the time? Real nice, 1920s casting directors, real nice. An entire book was written on Jasper Maskelyne called The War Magician. The book has been optioned for a film and like a lot of films it’s been in development hell. The interesting thing about this film though is there was a press release in 2015 announcing Benedict Cumberbatch would play Maskelyne. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a press release on a film that was obviously still in development that mentioned casting. The closest I’ve seen was that Manson Film that was apparently all a scam. In truth, Bow never liked talkies, calling them “stiff and limiting” and complaining that “you lose your cuteness.” She also never got comfortable with them. One day on the set of her talkie The Wild Party, she had to endure retake after retake because she couldn’t stop nervously glancing at the microphone above her. And that wasn’t all… In 1925, Clara started a scandalous sensation. That year, she went out of her house in hand-painted legs, a phenomenon that soon women all over California were taking up.Though Bow lost her fair share of cat fights in Hollywood, she did have one secret weapon. She was renowned throughout the studio lots for her ability to cry on cue. As her director Frank Tuttle recalled, “She could cry on demand, opening the floodgate of tears almost as soon as I asked her to weep.” This, however, came with a dark side… In addition to athletics and acting, Bow was also a fan of poetry and music. The only art that was off-limits to her, according to some, was novels. She simply didn’t have the attention span for long-form literature.

For a time, Bow tried to return to a normal life. She settled down with her hunky Cowboy co-star Rex Bell, moving into his ranch outside of Hollywood and marrying him in December, 1931. It almost worked: They had two children together and lived happily at first. Yet as always with Bow, darker days were just around the corner.

37. She Had Hidden Depths

Although she had a turbulent relationship with her mother (more on that later), Bow never stopped being her biggest defender. After Sarah passed in 1923, Bow screamed at her other family members who had gathered for the funeral, calling them “hypocrites” for never caring about Sarah. If that weren't unhinged enough, Bow then tried to jump into her mother's grave. In actuality, Bow was very sharp, it's just that her acting was more hands-on than cerebral. She needed specific direction and hated rehearsals, but after that she’d take off. One of her more understanding directors, Victor Fleming, compared her to a Stradivarius violin, saying “Touch her, and she responded with genius.” Take that. In 1924, Bow was on the set of Painted People with the more famous star Colleen Moore; the still-green Bow was due to play a bit part as Moore’s kid sister. Well, that simply wasn’t good enough. Bow reportedly went up to Moore and stated frankly, “I don’t like my part. I wanna play yours.” Moore’s response was swift and brutal. Bow's friends wondered what Tui was possibly getting out of the marriage. Tui did complain about Creepy Robert's insatiable appetite in bed, but she put up with it. That's because she was hiding a more scandalous motive than money. Tui wanted to be closer to Clara...since she was actually in unrequited love with the star. Of course she was, have you seen the girl?
