Auction History Result 5m0551 LOT OF 3 CLARA BOW 8X10 STILLS 1920s great movie scenes with her leading man! Date Sold 11/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 3 8x10 stills from Clara Bow movies. Note that these stills come to us from a major collector of Paramount silent stills! We have previously auctioned a number of his stills individually, and now we are doing the remainder of them in bulk lots, by star (each in a separate bulk lot). They are all guaranteed original release silent stills, and they are surely incredibly rare! We have photographed the fronts and backs of each, both so you can see that, and also because on the stills where the title is not printed on the front, it is almost always handwritten on the back in pencil. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to obtain these great silent stills, and almost all of the remaining stills from this collection are in this set of bulk lot auctions, so this is likely your last chance to acquire these. Of course, Clara Bow was an actress from the 1920s to the early 1930s. She was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until she passed away in 1965 at the age of 60. She continued to mature as an actress and she successfully made the transition from silent to sound movies, and she had the gift of making the audience like her, even though she played a character with no morals. Most fans say that had she not had her serious personal problems, she would have likely been a major rival to Jean Harlow for roles as likeable "bad girls" throughout the 1930s! Some of her movies include: It, Wings, Dancing Mothers, Call Her Savage, Hula, Hoopla, as well as 50 more almost forgotten silents! Note that the items in this lot are mostly from the 1920s.
