Louise Brooks always defended Bow's talent and disparaged anyone who didn't take Bow seriously as a performer and as a star. Brooks didn't have a lot of nice things to say about Hollywood, but never ran out of compliments for Bow and her talent

I absolutely love this woman, Clara Bow. Rather recently about two weeks ago I would witness my own self stating "Black and White Silent Films are So BORING"!!!. That statement I now greatly regret. I love them now, and it's all thanks to Clara Bow. God she is beautiful. I perticularly love her when Eleanor Glyn is in a picture next to her and the narrator says that she described that Clara Bow was the quintessential 'It' girl.
Yours,

Clara Bow has "It" - She is fun - you can see that even now.

Louise Brooks may have been generous in her praise of Clara Bow's acting ability, but esthetically, Brooks made Bow look like background scenery.or peeling paint on a wall.

It's so strange to think about how much mental illness affected her life, both from taking care of her schizophrenic mother and her own illness later in life. At that time, people who were mentally ill, esp. women, would've been taken to a poor house or institution. But Clara managed to make something of herself and have a good enough life, but she couldn't get away from her troubles that came from Hollywood and personal troubles. She showed that you can come from shit and still achieve success.

@PlayIt4MeAgainSam , I have seen several of her sound films. There was nothing wrong with her voice. She comes across as sort of a short, cuddly Geena Davis. Early sound films often had poor recording. Saturday Night Kid is awful. Wild Party is very good, in spite of being the sound debut of just about everyone involved. I have not seen Dangerous Curves, which is supposed to be her best picture.
