Clara Bow - First It-Girl Die Bezeichnung "It-Girl" kam zum ersten Mal in den USA für den Stummfilm-Star Clara Bow auf, nachdem sie 1927 die Hauptrolle in dem Film It (deutscher Titel: Das gewisse Etwas) nach dem gleichnamigen Erfolgsroman von Elinor Glyn gespielt hatte. Clara Bow war nicht nur das ursprüngliche It-Girlì sondern galt auch als typischer "Flapper", in den zwanziger Jahren die Bezeichnung für junge Frauen mit kurzem Haar und kurzem Rock: sexy, selbstbewusst und unkonventionell.
