The quintessential flapper of 1920s Hollywood, Clara Bow was the star of many movies, most memorably "It," which showcased her animal magnetism. She came from poverty in the tenement slums of New York, and most of the elite in Hollywood snubbed her socially. Disillusioned, and finding it hard to transition to sound, she retired from the movies in 1933. #historical #famouspeople #movie #youngwomen
