Pawsome Pet Pictures: Clara Bow.

Personal Quote: (On her poverty-stricken childhood in Brooklyn): No one wanted me in the first place. Often I was lonesome, frightened and miserable. I never had a doll in my life. I never had any clothes, and lots of times didn't have anything to eat. We just lived, and that'a about all. Girls shunned me because I was so poorly dressed - the worst looking kid on the street. I decided that girls weren't any good, and being lonely and needing child friends, cast my lot with the neighborhood boys. I became a regular tomboy - played baseball, football and learned to box.

Happy Birthday: Clara Bow!

Clara Bow (July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965), came to personify the roaring twenties and is described as its leading sex symbol. She performed in 46 silent films and 11 talkies she was best known for her performance in: Mantrap (1926), It(1927) and Wings (1927). She was named first box-office draw in 1928 and 1929 and second box-office draw in 1927 and 1930.

After marrying actor Rex Bell in 1931, Bow ended her career in 1933 with the film "Hoop-La", becoming a rancher in Nevada.
