Well, that's pretty crappy, if true.

Anybody able to dig up any other info on this? Is this for real? This is the only place I've heard this news.

Google satellite shows a structure still at that address (with a pool in the back yard), but can't tell you how old their photo is.

Bow, who died in 1965 at 60, epitomized the Roaring Twenties as a flapper and sex symbol. Among her nearly five dozen film appearances: starring roles in the 1927 talkies "Wings" and "It," earning the nickname "The It Girl" and popularizing the expression.
Well, that's all well and good, but
Wings and
It weren't exactly talkies...

Hey, we can't save every dead actor's home. If we did, the world would get cluttered.

I understand that. It's still a bit of a shame, though. I'm not even sure if it
has been demolished, however, that tumblr is the only place I've heard that it was.

A couple of years ago, I liked seeing that my house had a car in front which I hadn't owned for at least three years, plus the roof visibly needed repair. It's reasonably current now, meaning it was taken after 2008.
