From rags, to riches, to recluse. The life, films and troubled times of America's first sex symbol, silent screen actress Clara Bow, a cinema sensation who broke box office records and became one of the greatest stars of the silent screen. Amid scandal and ill health, she retired for good at the age of just 28. Once the Queen of Hollywood, now largely forgotten - whatever really happened to Clara Bow? This excellent documentary features archive footage and interviews with child star Diana Serra Cary - better known as Baby Peggy, who at age 94 gave first hand insight into Clara and Hollywood of the 1920s. Daughter-in-law Jackie Bell Chavez tells of Clara's final reclusive years in an LA suburb until her death at age 60 in 1965.
