Best known as the uninhibited flapper, she reached the top as the 'It Girl' in 1927. With the advent of sound and the Depression's unfavorable attitude towards Jazz-age extravagances, her popularity faded. Also adding to her problems, were gambling debts, unpaid taxes, and several sensational public court battles involving alienation of affections and embezzlement (by her secretary). She then married cowboy star Rex Bell and retired from the screen at age 26. Plagued by personal crises, a weight problem, and mental instability, she never made another film. Adorable vintage matte-finish 7.25 x 9.25 photo of Bow resting her head on a cane, signed in black ink. Trimmed edges, scattered silvering to darker areas, and some light creases from mounting remnants on reverse, otherwise fine condition. An image of the actress from happier times.
