Her social presence was taboo, and it was rather silly because God knows Marion Davies and Mary Pickford had plenty to hide. Was Clara wild at times? Yes but no wilder than many of the other actresses in the 20s and nothing compared to today…She was just honest about it.Īctress Lina Basquette said: “She wasn’t well liked amongst other women in the film colony. In the book, Hollywood Babylon Kenneth Anger makes many unflattering statements about Clara which Stenn proves were false. She was outspoken in a business where very few women were at that time.ĭavid Stenn separates fact from fiction about Clara. I have huge respect for Clara Bow as an actress and as a person. It is a well researched interesting book on the great silent movie actress. I’ve gone over Clara Bow earlier but I wanted to add more about this book. I got this book in the 90s and just reread it yet again.
