More sadness, and gloom filled the life of young Clara: her mother plummeted through episode after episode of depressed, psychotic and hostile states leaving Clara to take care of both herself and her mother. Death may have seemed a great strategy for leaving her sad life, but both mother and child survived. Clara was her third child- the first two died almost immediately after birth- and Sara had been advised that another pregnancy might kill both her and the child. He spent his wages in bars and on underage prostitutes. Robert worked as a singing waiter and at various odd jobs, but he would often leave his wife and child for long stretches. Robert had a thing for younger girls and liquor Sara was the daughter of an abusive father and mentally ill mother who was looking for a way out of her home and teen marriage was that ticket. We would love to give you a romantic version of her parents, a rags to riches love story- but it would be a lie. But, in addition to all those marketable qualities that made her a successful silent film star, she had other factors in her life that contrasted: Poverty, abuse, mental illness, and a span of time when she was treated like a pawn in an industry where youth and It survived, and all else was tossed aside.Ĭlara Gordon Bow was born on Jto Robert and Sara Bow in Brooklyn, New York.
She used It for her career and It attracted many men. It is a mysterious quality usually likened to a form of sex appeal. What is It? Looks, charm, talent, and something special that attracts a wide range of people. We couldn’t tell the story of Clara Bow entirely in G-rated terms, so younger ears should probably skip this one where we talk about the original It Girl.
