CLARA BOW

Since Clara made her little bow Upon the screen, fans have asked how To say her name: She'll have you know That it's pronounced not "bough" but "bow"

P.S.—Above she's imitating Mae Murray; at the right, she's showing you how Gloria Swanson looked in The Humming Bird

i miss you but you don’t even remember me

we never really spoke to each other. you don’t even know what i look like but i still miss you. i was the child that randomly walked into your life and then refused to leave because i needed you. i was young and i was in pain but you were there for me. i learnt everything about you but you didn’t ever want to know anything about me.

on one day you told me you were just like an onion with ‘many layers to your personality’ and i thought that was the most fascinating analogy ever. and then i read about it in a book.

love, rosie // 2004

another day you said you were watching ‘the breakfast club’. i asked you what that was and you said, ‘obviously, you wouldn’t know about it.’ i thought i’ll watch it some day. i still haven’t.

the breakfast club // 1985

you told me your birthdate and i spent months trying to contact grant gustin through his manager just because you told me you loved watching ‘the flash’. i wanted to give you an incredible gift but ended up making an elaborate presentation. i still remember your birthday and i send you a message every year which i delete within a week because i’m embarrassed that i haven’t forgotten it when nothing of me remains in your memory. 

instagram 'happy birthday' text // 2022

you told me you wrote poetry and played basketball and that reminded me of troy bolton from high school musical. you said you also knew ballroom dancing. i thought you were the coolest person i’d ever met.

high school musical 1 and 3 // 2006, 2008

my favorite book is ‘the perks of being a wallflower’. i read this quote and started getting teary-eyed because it reminded me of you. you were to me what charlie’s anonymous friend was to him. i didn’t mean to trouble you but i guess i did.

we shared a common love for cats. your favorites were grey british shorthairs with blue eyes. i’d send pictures of them to you constantly.

i am not surprised by how little i mean to you since i forced myself into your life. i’m sorry. i truly am sorry. and i’m sorry for constantly coming back into it. i’m sorry for saying i won’t do it again but still sending you long paragraphs pleading for forgiveness for being a nuisance.

sorry for writing all the songs about you // clara mae, 2018

i know i left abruptly but that was because i was scared you’d leave first. i’ve been left before so i thought it would hurt less to be the one to do the leaving but i guess i was wrong. i still miss you. and i think about you whenever i'm sad because i met you when i was at my lowest.

summertime sadness // lana del rey, 2012

- missing someone is painful. there’s always feelings of grief and sorrow that comes with reminiscing memories with them. but the most devastating feeling is when the person you miss doesn’t even remember you exist. when you’re nothing more than a faint memory of their past but to you, they were everything. you thought about them for the years that followed even though it hurt you every time they crossed your mind -

6533 Hollywood Blvd is a long, curved, apartment building at the corner of Hollywood and Hudson.

Located next to the two oldest houses in Hollywood, it was built in 1918. It housed several struggling actors in the early 1920s including Clara Bow, Joan Blondell, Jack LaRue, Mae Busch, Pat O'Brien, and Oliver Hardy.

Clara and Mae

[baubeautyandthegeek]

All That It Took Was The Courage To Look – Alex Blake/Tara Lewis, JJ Jareau/Emily Prentiss, Elle Greenaway/Clara Seger, Penelope Garcia/Mae Jarvis.

A/N: The most chaotic fic for @storiesofsvu​ ‘s Birthday Bingo.

“Drooling again Blake?” Elle’s comment is light even as she moves past Alex, breaking her focus on Tara who is already laughing, glancing over her shoulder at Alex and smirking, the tight bikini had done it’s job. Clara was smirking even as she settles beside Alex on the blanket. “Don’t mind Elle, she’s just a lil crispy.” “Again?” “Always.” Clara’s shrug is light and she laughs at the sight of Spencer’s chair being hoisted by the army of kids even as Kristy settles with the few smaller kids who hadn’t taken part in dumping Spencer into the water. Matt and Kristy had drifted apart recently, Matt accepting he was maybe a little more interested in Spencer than he had wanted to be. He had quickly risen to try and retrieve Spencer from the kids, then followed them into the water. “Hey Morgan, maybe go rescue your boy?” Elle calls over, already moving to scoop up the ball that Tara had missed catching to throw back to the man. “Chaotic as ever.” Penelope’s comment is light as she settles beside Mae in the deckchairs, holding out a fresh iced coffee and enjoying Mae’s laugh. “Everyone but Prentiss apparently…” “Or Jareau.” Penelope agreed, both women smirking when JJ and Emily finally broke out of the slightly deep makeout they had been indulging in to flip her off, soon settling back together. It may have been chaos, but it was their chaos.

From Ghosts in the Machine: The Dark Heart of Pop Cinema by Michael Atkinson, Chapter: The Great American Blonde. Originally appearing in the November 1995 issue of Detour Magazine.

Hate the unnecessary harshness used to describe most of these actresses (especially Jayne Mansfield) but his assessment of the bimbo archetype is accurate, even if the examples provided might not be. It's also a pretty succinct and sentient overview (predicting the rise of Kardashian-types) despite its narrow focus on blondes.
