It was pleasant to read a biography that did not sensationalize or place undue judgment on its subject or her chaotic lifestyle. For those like myself, who wanted to know more about Clara, this biography provided a well-researched, neatly-written, concise approach to fill in the blanks. No doubt, many classic film fans are familiar with Clara’s poverty-stricken upbringing and the facts that her career lasted only a few years when “Talkies” replaced silent films, and that she suffered from schizophrenia in her later years. ‘Clara Bow: Runnin Wild’ By David Stenn is a biography about the tragic life of ‘It Girl’ icon Clara Bow. ![]()
