A portrait of the singer whose ‘rebel life’ set her on a course to become the world’s most famous sinner.
In February 1927, the British novelist Elinor Glyn published a short story in Cosmopolitan magazine that would define the then-nascent culture of celebrity. Glyn’s story explored the concept of It: the mysterious, ineffable, possibly magical quality that stars and other screen luminaries have and ordinary people don’t. Sex appeal, personal charisma, beauty—all of these contribute to It, but It is much more.
” It was also a source of erotic power: “With ‘It’ you win all men if you are a woman—and all women if you are a man.” Within weeks, Paramount came calling, optioning Glyn’s story and adapting it into “It,” an iconic silent film starring Clara Bow, the first of Old Hollywood’s countless It Girls. And so not only a star, but an ideology of stardom, was born.This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only.
