Clara Bow - Later Life

Later Life

Bow and cowboy actor, Rex Bell (later a Lieutenant governor of Nevada), had two sons, Tony Beldam (born 1934, changed name to Rex Anthony Bell, Jr., died July 2011) and George Beldam, Jr. (born 1938). Bow retired from acting in 1933. In September 1937, she and Bell opened The 'It' Cafe on Vine Street near Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles. It was closed shortly thereafter. Her last public exposure, albeit fleeting, was a guest appearance on the radio show Truth or Consequences in March 1948; Bow provided the voice of "Mrs. Hush".

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    If anything characterizes the cultural life of the seventies in America, it is an insistence on preventing failures of communication.
    Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)

    Man staggers through life yapped at by his reason, pulled and shoved by his appetites, whispered to by fears, beckoned by hopes. Small wonder that what he craves most is self-forgetting.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
