Clara Bow in 'Hula'

Asta Nielsen in Earth Spirit (1923)

A brief affair between Clara and Bela Lugosi began after she saw the play "Dracula" in 1929. Clara wore only a bathing suit under a fur coat to the theater, and Lugosi later joked of her infamous "love bites" all along his back. The painting remained in his home until his death in 1956.

The picture was created in the interior of a professional photography studio at the Preferred Pictures film company (at the beginning of the following year, 1926, the actress moved to the Paramount Pictures studio). The name of a particular photographer is not recorded in the archive catalogs of Getty Images, but the picture belongs to the official series of studio advertising portraits of Clara Bow, prepared for the press and film magazines.

Clara took Archie home where — according to biographer David Stenn — he soon damaged her furniture! (She loved him irregardless!)
