Clara Bow in the words of her “Wonderful Fan Friends”: “This girl is the real thing! Someone to stir every pulse in the nation” -F. Scott Fitzgerald (Writer/Clara Bow fan) “‘it’, hell! She had those” -Dorothy Parker (New York Wit/Clara Bow fan) “All speed, no control; Clara just naturally tops herself” -Frank Tuttle (Director) “I liked Clara. A very warm, sweet, generous girl. What great potential! But she wasn’t a finisher. Her mind was like a sponge, but she didn’t have the concentration or ability to see it through. She was quite ingenuous. People would go into shock over her salty language.” -Colleen Moore (Actress/Costar) “She had a temperament like a great violin; touch her and she answered with genius” -Victor Flemming (Director/lover) “She really wanted it, she was genuine. Everything she did was natural” -Baby Peggy (Child-Star/Costar) “Clara was an untamed little minx” -Esther Ralston (Actress/Costar) “I was ten years old when I saw wings, and like every other man in America, I fell in love with Clara Bow” -A.C. Lyles (Paramount Producer/Clara Bow fan) “She’s Brilliant” -Gary Cooper (Costar/Lover) “The whole thing was emotional with Clara. She understood the emotional concept of each scene. Everything she did was so good, so right. She was like a dancing flame on the screen” -Dorothy Arzner (first female director) “I loved her! She was so generous, no snootiness or anything. She was wonderful to me” -Jean Arthur (Actress/Costar) “On the screen, she was bigger than Garbo, bigger than anybody, but off the screen she disappeared like an over-exposed negative. She was only the image she created for her self.” -Louise Brooks (Actress) “she was the most intense person, of any emotion, I have ever known” -Jean Harlow (Actress/Costar) “She danced even when her feet weren’t moving. Some part of her was always in motion, if only her great, rolling eyes. It was an elemental magnetism, an animal vitality, that made her the center of attraction in any company. Clara Bow was more than a mere movie star. She marked an era.” -Adolph Zukor (Producer/Clara Bow fan)
