TESTIMONY  Document an old memory  Growing up, we lived in a country town where there was little or no TV reception. We watched movies at the " Rivoli Picture Theatre. " and sometimes they showed silent movies for fun.  I loved Clara Bow and I wanted to document some of her life story .

Clara Bow, a cinema sensation who broke box office records

and became one of the greatest stars

of the silent screen.

Amid scandal and ill health she retired 1933

for good,  at the age of just 28 .

more journaling on the back of my layout . 

After making around a dozen talking pictures, including ‘Hoop La’ and ‘The Wild Party’,

 Clara’s career ended abruptly in 1933.

There would be no more films. 

 ‘the love had left, she was done, and she walked away’. 

The name Clara Bow is largely forgotten but in her day she was one of the biggest stars in the world .

She was the “IT” girl of 1927

Clara’s story of rags to riches to recluse; from her upbringing in a Brooklyn tenement to fame, scandals, mental breakdowns and her married life with actor Rex Bell. 

As many have said ‘the camera loved her’ and there are thousands of fabulous studio portraits and intimate family photographs to tell Clara’s story.

With the arrival of talking pictures many of Clara Bow’s films suffered the same neglect as other silent movies, and much information has been lost .

thanks for dropping by and leaving me some love

until next time
