I love these three YOU TUBE videos of Renee, Clara, and Marion (I believe) - these three were the IT girls of their generation - they captured the American's imagination like no other stars can.
One thing, about traveling to CANADA - is that they love their Silent Movie Stars in the roaring twenties, when I was in my late teens through my 30's - I often head to Vancouver (I live in Seattle) to watch these lovely ladies in many hole in a wall theaters and I was treated the likes of Clara Bow, Mary Pickford, Marion Davies, Lillian Gish, and Vilma Banky - these were the IT girls of their generations.
My definition of a IT GIRL is means you captured the imagination of the American/World audience - people talk about you, can't get enough about you, Clara Bow is and always the number one IT GIRL - in the roaring twenty because she has tremendous sex appeal that both sexes can't get enough of.
My great-grandfather talk about the animal magnetism of CLARA BOW all the time and these pictures that you shared shows how alluring she was in those days. AN IT GIRL - means that you got it. When you got it - you captured your fancies.
During the 40's when Rita Hayworth was doing GILDA - they ask Clara Bow - what you think about the current IT GIRL - the Love Goddess herself. She said to everyone I REALLY LIKE HER. She got IT APPEAL ... She admires her very much and Clara Bow has charm, beauty, star power, and most of all she made my great-grandfather weak in his knees, women in the 20's wanted to be like her - she has EVERYTHING going for her - because she WAS the IT GIRL -
and when you got it - you got it.
These YOU TUBE videos are one of its kind and Gagman66 - I watched these three videos 2-3 times this morning and I wanted to say thanks for sharing it.
Back in early days - I loved Silent Movies Stars - I'm hard of hearing and I have great deal of imagination and you don't need them to talk - but to act with great joy and love so that we can follow along with simple words on the screen - that is why I love Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Clara Bow, Mary Pickford, Marion Davies, Louise Brooks, and others because they know how to entertain with simple gestures, movements, cute facial expressions, and most of all to tell a story so that THEY CAN ENTERTAIN you.
This web site made me to understand the beauty of the Silver Screen - its vastness of topics, the many genres, the complexities of the wide range of subject matters. SSO captures of all of IT.
Great Stuff here.
Gagman66 - again thanks for sharing these beautifully colorized YOU TUBE videos of the great silent stars - The Females!
Great stuff here.
