Artist's Description
Clara Gordon Bow (1905 - 1965) "was an American actress who rose to stardom in silent film during the 1920s. It was her appearance as a plucky shopgirl in the film "It" that brought her global fame and the nickname 'The It Girl.'
Bow came to personify the Roaring Twenties and is described as its leading sex symbol.
She appeared in 46 silent films and 11 talkies, including hits such as Mantrap (1926), It (1927) and Wings (1927). She was named first box-office draw in 1928 and 1929 and second box-office draw in 1927 and 1930.

While at the U of A, I studied with the master black and white photo essayist W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) the last year of his life. I am the last person cited in Jim Hughes' definitive biography of Gene, as I wrote about attending his final...
