Clara Gordon Bow (July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965) was an American actress who rose to stardom in silent film during the 1920s. While she claimed to have been 16 years old (and born in 1905) when she won the personality contest which started her career, she was actually only 14 at the time (born in 1907, a fact reflected on her grave marker). It is not known whether studio executives or her early biographers were aware of her true age, but the 1905 birthdate claim was the one publicly accepted as she began her film career in 1922, thus allowing her to live and work as an adult. This discrepancy forced her to change the dates of events in her childhood.
