Silent film actress Clara Bow was one of the most popular stars of the twenties. Forever known as the "It" girl after starring in the 1927 film of the same name, Clara influenced fashion and make-up. Decades before Marilyn Monroe, Clara was truly the first sex symbol of the movies. Flapper era audiences swooned with just a sly look from the coquettish star who portrayed the average working girl's plights on the screen. During her heyday, Clara worked at a remarkable pace, churning out 14 films in 1925 alone, and was successful in making the leap from silent to talking films.
