Biografia e filmografia

Clara Bow

Clara Gordon Bow (Nova Iorque, 29 de julho de 1905 – Culver City, 27 de setembro de 1965) foi uma atriz de cinema norte-americana, que fez muito sucesso na era do cinema mudo. Foi uma das poucas atrizes da era do cinema mudo a continuar a carreira durante a era do cinema falado, depois de 1927. Sua participação na comédia de 1927 It, a alçou ao sucesso e foi quando surgiu o apelido de it girl.Clara se tornou a personificação dos Roaring Twenties, época de grande otimismo e efervescência cultural nas grandes capitais do mundo ocidental e era tida como a principal sex symbol de sua época.

Clara estrelou 46 filmes mudos e 11 filmes falados, incluindo grandes sucessos como Mantrap (1926), It (1927) e Asas (1927). Sua presença em um filme era uma garantia de se conseguir investidores e público, tendo sido campeã de bilheteria em 1928. No auge da fama, Clara chegou a receber mais de 45 mil cartas em um único mês (janeiro de 1929).
