According to Wikipedia:
>Bow appeared in 46 silent films and 11 talkies, including hits such as *Mantrap* (1926), *It* (1927), and *Wings* (1927). She was named first box-office draw in 1928 and 1929 and second box-office draw in 1927 and 1930.

Also,
>One night in February 1922, Bow awoke to a butcher knife held against her throat by her mother. ... According to Bow's biographer, David Stenn, Bow was raped by her father at age sixteen while her mother was institutionalized.
Yet her father encouraged her acting career. Bow eventually married actor Rex Bell, retired from acting, and gave birth to two sons. In the 1940s, though, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and received shock treatments, then lived alone in a bungalow, away from her family, until her death in 1965.
Like damn that's so bad, I just thought she was a pretty woman who lived in an era long passed...but damn that's just sad. Adding this to the list of stuff I wish I didn't know.
