I've long been fascinated by Clara Bow and have been looking for a biography of her for a while. This one doesn't disappoint. David Stenn interviewed the people who were close to her and paints a well-rounded portrait of a deeply tragic and insecure woman, despite her fame and talent. Bow had one of the most horrific childhoods I've ever read about and went on to one of the most groundbreaking careers in Hollywood. It's a shame she's largely forgotten now. Whenever I've mentioned I'm reading a book about her, everyone has the same reaction: Who was she? Sad.

David Stenn also wrote an outstanding biography of Jean Harlow. I wish he'd write more, as both his writing and his subjects are fascinating.
