Quotes
[edit]- I'd give my house to my dad, my car to the chauffeur, the bedroom suite to the maid who likes it so well, my Chinese room to my cook, and my dogs to the friends to whom they are most attached. I'd ask the few real intimates I have what they wanted most in this world, and I would do my best to see that they got them. And, if I still had time, I'd like to have a last dance.
- Bow was asked in 1929, “What would you do if you had but one hour to live?" Los Angeles Evening Post-Record (8 Apr 1929) page 1.
