She's Got It - Paperback

by Rod McFain (Author)

In the opulent and fast-paced era of the Roaring '20s, the entertainment world was a dazzling spectacle, bursting with glitz, glamour, and untold stories. Amidst the Jazz Age rhythms and the allure of the silver screen, one star shone brighter than the rest: Clara Gordon Bow. Clara was not just a name; she was a phenomenon. She became a symbol of the new age woman, the flapper: independent, ambitious, and unapologetically glamorous.

Clara's star rose during the silent film era. Silence is multi-layered, mysterious, and tricky. It can be a serene sanctuary or a place of loneliness. She was both a heroine and a casualty of the muted screen.

Clara's entry into the movies was nothing short of meteoric. Her natural charisma enthralled audiences, making Clara a household name. She stars in numerous films, including The Plastic Age and Mantrap, showcasing her versatility and depth as an actress. Her defining moment was the film IT, which popularized the term It Girl, referring to a woman with magnetic charm and undeniable appeal.

She's Got It is a highly transporting, spirited, and riveting jaunt through the early cinema. It will be read for hours without wanting to leave the world that has been constructed. Readers will be in every room, every scene, feeling swoony with desire and energy. Clara comes alive through the context of the story's timeline, the relevant history of film, and the mirroring of the mores and moods of the time.

Rod McFain guides readers through the delicate psyche of a woman half self-declared and half shoe-horned into fame.
