Simply put, Bow was the hottest actress of the late 1920s (until silent films were supplanted by "talkies"), the girl with the "heart-shaped face, an hour-glass figure, and thick auburn hair dyed a flaming orange-red." The film that made her a household name was 1927's It, based on a turgid novelette by the dowager Elinor Glyn (renowned for her 1907 novel Three Weeks, which featured a scandalous tryst on a tiger-skin rug). Most people are familiar with those names, even if they don't know who Clara Bow was or how she came by the nickname.
