Auction History Result 2d260 CLARA BOW/REX BELL 6.25x8 news photo '32 husband & wife at Waterloo Station in London! Date Sold 10/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 6 1/4" x 8" [16 x 20 cm] News Photo (Learn More) 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 her death in 1965. 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! AND Rex Bell was an actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Dawn on the Great Divide, Forgotten Women, and True to the Navy. He was married to actress Clara Bow. Important Added Info: Note that this news photo measures 6 1/4" x 8" [16 x 20 cm] Note that this still has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has "TRR" running down the center. One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that the still (and many others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of the stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: good to very good. The news photo is rippled down the right edge, caused by the snipe glued to the back. There are a few tiny stains around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
