Clara Bow’s former home is for sale
The onetime home of silent film star and early “it girl” Clara Bow has come on the market in Bel-Air at $6,995,000.

Bow, who died in 1965 at 60, epitomized the Roaring Twenties as a flapper and sex symbol. Among her nearly five dozen film appearances: starring roles in the 1927 talkies “Wings” and “It,” earning the nickname “The It Girl” and popularizing the expression.
The property last sold in 1991 for $2,475,000, according to public records.
Scott Tamkin of the Nest Real Estate Group at Keller Williams, Brentwood, is the listing agent.
