Episode Clara Bow: Part 2 - Taylor Swift's muse

0:00 40:10

Welcome back for Part 2 of our Clara Bow series where we unpack how this young girl from Brooklyn became the muse of Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks and Margot Robbie!

Looking at her relationship with the press, struggles with mental health, financial situation and final years, we're going to unpack Clara's impact on both culture and history. Because as it turns out, Hollywood and indeed society haven't really changed how we speak about or view women since Clara Bow!

Shout out to our incredible researcher Grace McCamish for pulling this together, and if you're wanting more Hot History you can follow along on Instagram, TikTok, Substack, YouTube and of course, right here!

'Til next week, Ainslie x
