April 10, 2016 - This week, our time machine visits the era of silent film stars with Laini Giles, author of The It Girl and Me: A Novel of Clara Bow. Even if you've never heard of Clara Bow, you'll stop and take notice the moment you saw her. She had "it," which is something more than sex appeal, more than talent -- an undefinable and mysterious quality that you can't create, borrow, or steal. But Clara's stardom didn't erase her hardscrabble upbringing in Brooklyn, or ensure her transition to the talking pictures, where she suffered from "mic fright." Nor did it spare our narrator, Daisy DeVoe, from her own wild ride in Claraworld. Laini Giles previously joined us to chat about her novel, The Forgotten Flapper, the first in her Forgotten Actress series. Catch that interview in our archives at HistoryAuthor.com, or wherever you're listening, and visit Laini on Twitter @4GottenFlapper, or at LainiGiles.com.
