Clara Bow, 1905-1965,
[From article]
The men of old Hollywood had no monopoly on drunken behavior, as young starlets of the time could make Lindsay Lohan seem like a rank amateur.
Clara Bow, a Brooklyn teenager whose “mother was insane” and whose father was “a lecherous hanger-on,” was the first to be christened an “It” girl after her most popular film, 1927’s “It.”
With her fame came license to shock the world, as Bow, who loved “drinking, gambling, swearing and screwing,” was “so licentious she could shock even jaded old-Hollywood types.”
