Clara Bow She was sweet         and she was sexy She was a girl friend         and untouchable She was the fun girl         and just fun to be with She was “it”         in publicity’s game She swept the silver screen         from silents to talkies She became immortal         and was a bit immoral She was beauty         and brains She touched hearts         and evoked laughter She was and is forever         Clara Bow. Carl Scott Harker, author of Vintage Nudes of Yesteryear

Here is the beautiful silent film actress Clara Bow nude leaning against a wall while holding a musical instrument. The vintage naked female image was taken by photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston. Johnston is best known for taking photo portraits of Ziegfeld Follies showgirls.

Clara Bow is often referred to as the “It Girl,” a term popularized by the 1927 film “It,” which starred the beautiful actress. Bow is one of the earliest and most iconic sex symbols in movie history.

A great actress and movie star, the sexy Clara Bow’s movie career lasted well into the talkies, though she retired in the early 1930’s due to health reasons. Her vivacious and energetic on-screen presence, made her a favorite among audiences, which is why her movies are still enjoyed today.
