God, she looks sensational with long hair. It's so sad that she didn't have the confidence to pursue her career in the sound era. I think she would have been great in screwball comedies.

Hard to believe she's already had such a big career and she's only 25 in this clip.
-
she could be a wonderful comedian actress in sound movies
-
yeah she kept looking up at the microphone.. I want to find some of her flicks. I don't know where I could..
-
@Overfiend002 most likely. she was petrified of the mic.
-
@perfectjazz78 actually- it was more likely because of the mic than her being flirtatious. she was petrified of the microphone and that its what ultimately sent her into a nervous breakdown and ended her career- that and Hollywood being so nasty to her.

the best actress in film never made to sound. A real tragedy.
-
@SirCyrano I agree. I would have loved to see her in those great 1930's comedies. She had such a voice, too!
-
she had a fine speaking voice!

Wow... love this vintage clip. I had no idea Clara Bow did talkies. She's such a charmer in this number! She really did have colorful on-screen presence.
hey eyes are always darting up. Was that because of the microphone?

No it is a "flirtatious" gesture
