When Clara was born, New York was in the middle of a ravaging heat wave, with temperatures rising over a punishing 100 degrees. This had devastating consequences. Both Clara and her mother nearly didn’t make it, and Bow later recalled how the two of them “looked death in the face" that day. Sadly, more harrowing moments were in store. In truth, Bow never liked talkies, calling them “stiff and limiting” and complaining that “you lose your cuteness.” She also never got comfortable with them. One day on the set of her talkie The Wild Party, she had to endure retake after retake because she couldn’t stop nervously glancing at the microphone above her. And that wasn’t all… The Production Code basically kept nudity out of American movies for approximately the next thirty years. The Legion did not begin to lose its grip on Hollywood until the early sixties when an unfinished 1962 film, Something’s Got to Give, was to have taken on the Code by featuring a skinny dip from Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn’s death temporarily scotched the snake of mainstream nudity, but other films soon took up the baton. There was Jayne Mansfield in Promises, Promises in 1963. Cleopatra featured a modest look at Liz Taylor’s bum in 1963, and The Pawnbroker managed to sneak fairly substantial nudity into arthouse theaters in 1964 despite a “condemned” rating from the Legion. Despite these efforts and a rapidly liberalizing culture in the mid-sixties, it was not until 1968 that the Production Code was officially replaced with the first version of the current rating system.

Throughout her entire career—and particularly during her tragic end—Bow was incredibly emotionally fragile. Though this is exactly what helped her cry at the drop of a hat, Tuttle also noted that it made Bow “full of nervous energy and pitifully eager to please everyone.” Soon enough, this tendency would ravage Bow.The shift from silent films to talkies was an enormous sea change in Hollywood that drowned many a star—but contrary to popular belief, our gritty Clara survived and thrived. Audiences still loved her, Brooklyn accent or not, and her new films were hit. Yet the new talkie format still took a huge toll on the actress… ALL BIDDERS MUST AGREE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD BONHAMS' CONDITIONS OF SALE AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM, AND AGREE TO PAY THE BUYER'S PREMIUM AND ANY OTHER CHARGES MENTIONED IN THE NOTICE TO BIDDERS.

A huge treasure trove of extremely artistic full-nude and semi-nude full-figure studio photos with all the glass-plate negatives were found stored at a farm near Oxford, Connecticut, where he had lived since the 1940’s. Most were showgirls from the Ziegfeld Follies, plus a great storehouse of both aspiring and known actors and actresses. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image of Pola Negri that was attributed to him. But I could be wrong. They were both around at the same time, and Hollywood’s greatest stars of the Golden Age were taken by the most revered photographers in Hollywood, which included Ernest A. Bachrach and Alfred Cheney Johnston.

Bow dealt with her trauma in a tragic way—that is, she didn’t deal with it at all. When she tried to talk about “The Butcher Knife Episode” once in an interview, she cut herself off, saying, “but I can't tell you about it. Only when I remember it, it seems to me I can't live.” No wonder Clara Bow lived like she was running out of time.

Fair point about Steve Allen but I think the interview sitting behind the desk is the simplest idea possible for a talk show format, so, in that sense, it was a ‘conventional’ creation.

In 1925, Clara started a scandalous sensation. That year, she went out of her house in hand-painted legs, a phenomenon that soon women all over California were taking up. In 1944, when she was still in her 30s, Clara Bow tried to commit suicide, leaving only a note. Its contents were heartbreaking. In it Bow confessed that she preferred eternal slumber to the idea of always being a public figure, and every day seemed unbearable to her. There’s always a price for stardom, and it’s never pretty.
