Filmmaker Stumbles Upon Rare Lost Clara Bow Movie at Auction

Kansas City filmmaker Gary Huggins had an incredibly rare find. While at an auction in Omaha, Nebraska, he bought a stack of movies for $20. One of them was a missing silent film starring legendary actress Clara Bow. “Clara Bow was one of the biggest icons of silent cinema. The ‘It’ girl,” Gary said. Taylor Swift’s new album even has a song named after the late actress. Inside Edition Digital has more.

Clara Bow was a trailblazer for women in her early films. What a great treasure they have found! ❤🎉❤

My Dad likes Clara Bow, one of the best Female Silent Actors from her era

[@ediekoller1144]

You all need to see a Clara Bow movie called "Call Her Savage" A 1932 Talkie and really had a Strong Brooklyn accent. She was married to cowboy actor Rex Bell and had two sons. She died in 1965 at the age of 60 from a heart attack. She did have mental health issues and passed a few years after her husband Rex Bell.

[@stevie-ray2020]

Thanks for that info, as I wondered whether she had an accent that affected her career in talkies.

This gives me hope that London After Midnight will be found one day.

[@MoonshineTheDragThing]

Thank you for saying this. I didn't consider that. Can't wait until London After Midnight is found.

[@Paul_Wetor]

How crazy is it to find a lost film, and in pristine condition? And just in time for a Taylor Swift song about her.

[@richardcao8195]

I know, right?

[@Infinite_Ouroboros]

*Puts tinfoil hat on. Smells like a conspiracy to create more hype and sell more albums.

[@alexflowers97]

Clara Bow was a bigger star then Taylor Swift trust me I was their in the 20s!

[@footystar1GamingOfficial]

I think that might be an idea for a music video...

[@PungiFungi]

@@alexflowers97 you must be VERY old.😁

[@PaytonSamuels33]

This find is not only interesting, but amazing!

[@arveedibira2454]

Wow! that is Hollywood history🌹

[@aisadal2521]

I hope this revives the Laura Bow franchise, since she was based off of and was a homage to Clara Bow 😊

[@alexflowers97]

What or who is that?

[@ShampootheSpider2019]

That flim should be in museum

[@ericthatsme]

Thanks, Indy.

[@sophiehanssel2017]

Imagine the original silent film adaptation of The Great Gatsby being found

[@jennhoff03]

"I needed it the most." ;'D Yes, his life seems like absolute hell. ;'D. Anyway, what a serendipitous time to find this! Right before Taylor's song comes out. Awesome!

[@andreachung396]

Who was Clara Bow?? She was the it girl!

[@ivyshannon-gg6dj]

She retired bc she got married and wanted to raise a family not because of movies gaining sound. She transitioned to sound films and was still super popular.

[@MXOY99]

No, that's wishful thinking. Scandals killed her career.

[@ivyshannon-gg6dj]

@@MXOY99 she released a statement you can google this by the way, she retired at 27 right when she got married when she was at the height of her career and even released a statement saying she knows it’s shocking she’s retiring because she was so young and successful. Like a public statement .

[@tommiller9743]

My grandfather, Bob West was a personality theater organist back in those days. I have a photo of a theater marquis with his name and Clara Bow up in lights!

[@abbeymclane6985]

Clara Bow: Angel of Autumn

[@santiagovasquez4031]

Bravo! Great finding! Great for Gary! Great for our film Kick Me! Great for the lovers of films! Great for the Great Clara Bow! ❤❤❤

[@dianekohout7232]

Can’t wait to see it!

[@Nooneinteresting470]

I always pictured Volbeat probably doing a song about clara bow.. never did it cross my mind that Taylor Swift would be making a song about her very interesting we'll take a listen definitely!!

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

Clara Bow originated the Manic Pixie Dream Girl and Femcel roles.

[@MXOY99]

My favourite film of all time is the 1927 film "It". I have a small bunch of bootlegs of Clara Bow movies. So this is VERY exciting for myself as a big fan. I still longfully hope for the rest of "Get Your Man" to be found...

Mine too! 😁😁😁😁😁 💘💘💘💘💘 💖💖💖💖💖 💞💞💞💞💞 💋💋💋💋💋

[@player4life11111]

So much history has probably been lost to time, or waiting to be discovered in a flea market🎉

[@WisteriaBerlitz]

Pretty neat

[@adriangarcia543]

Unbelievable

[@dariowiter3078]

YES!!!!! Someone found Clara Bow's 58th film of her amazing career! 😁😁😁😁😁 💘💘💘💘💘 💖💖💖💖💖 💞💞💞💞💞 💋💋💋💋💋

[@Hunter225]

Very cool

[@footystar1GamingOfficial]

I think this could be a great idea for a music video for Taylor's song...

[@Mario87456]

It’s only 20 minutes long by the way. Pity really as I would have liked if it was a full motion picture.

[@alexflowers97]

Watch It (1927)

[@dariowiter3078]

It's a comedy short, dude! Clara was clawing her way to become the star she dreamed of being since she was a child. 🙄😖😒

[@soniaibarra1926]

Wow Amazing!!👏👏

[@heatherspence3848]

That’s amazing!😊😮
