The “It” Girl Revealed

Hollywood’s first “it” girl is at her ultimate stage of stardom, representing the change in fashion and sexuality exposed through the explosive movie industry. Clara Bow is that “it” girl. Although, her life seems perfect in movies because of the wild, happy girl she tends to play- reality is a completely different story for Clara Bow. She grew up with neglecting, abusive parents, and was never able to recover from these early experiences. She uses the movie screen to forget about that life. She imagines herself as the role she plays in movies, which is why her acting is so real-she makes herself believe it’s reality. Although Clara has become the female icon of all movie stars, she has yet to achieve full happiness. Since the movie industry has changed it’s films from “silent’s” to “talkies”, Clara’s career has gone downhill. Studios’ claim that “the microphone has killed Clara”, for her voice doesn’t match the “it” girl status that producers adore. Clara’s insecurities, that she’s hidden behind her carefree persona for so long, are finally revealed. Clara has gained weight, defying the new “skinny, boyish figure” of the 20’s, and has become self conscious with her voice in talkies. Clara Bow has stepped out of the spot-light and is ready to break from the harsh face of stardom. Men want her for her powerful sex appeal, women envy her for her fame , but what they don’t know is the tragic life she lives behind the Hollywood scenes of glamour.
