Pin Up Girl Wallpapers Biography
Long before the Internet, the feminine icons of the day were the pin-up queens. Sex symbols like Bettie Page and Rita Hayworth adorned the walls of boys' bedrooms and military barracks alike. Modern day icons like Farrah Fawcett and Raquel Welch are remembered for classic, risque photos that became the most popular posters in the country. Here's our group of famous pin-ups
Date of Birth
16 December 1907, Gadsby, Alberta, Canada
Birth Name
Barbara Cloutman
Height
4' 11" (1.50 m)
Spouse
Pin-up girl
Jack Monroe (1949? - 1998) (his death)
Harry E. Edington (1932 - 10 March 1949) (his death)
Trivia
Was Canadian.
After she left acting, she rarely consented to be interviewed regarding her screen career.
One of the original Universal Studios contracted stars.
Outlived all her fellow WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1927, being Iris Stuart (died at 33 in 1936), Ada Mae Vaughn (37 in 1943), Rita Carewe (46 in 1955), Helene Costello (50 in 1957), Sally Phipps (66 in 1978), Patricia Avery (70 in 1973), Gladys McConnell (73 in 1979), Sally Rand (75 in 1979), Martha Sleeper (75 in 1983), Mary McAllister (82 in 1991), Natalie Kingston (85 in 1991), Frances Lee (92 in 2000).
Her family moved from Canada to California in 1913. Appeared in films after winning a 1925 Miss Hollywood beauty contest. Had no prior acting experience when signed by Universal.
Her husband, Harry Eddington, in addition to being a producer, also headed his own agency which handled some of the biggest stars in motion pictures, including Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Ruth Chatterton and Ann Harding.
Standing a half-inch over five feet, perky brunette leading lady Barbara Kent was elected Miss Hollywood in 1925. Promptly signed by Universal Pictures, Kent made her film bow as a western ingenue, then co-starred in a handful of Reginald Denny comedies. She went on to play the "good" heroine (Greta Garbo was the "bad" one) in MGM's Flesh and the Devil (1927), and was menaced by villain Oliver Hardy in the 1927 western No Man's Law, a film distinguished by Kent's nude swimming scene (she actually wore a moleskin body suit). She made a smooth transition to talkies, co-starring with Harold Lloyd in Welcome Danger (1929) and Feet First (1930). Her subsequent film assignments tended to be unremarkable save for her performance as Rose in Monogram's Oliver Twist. In 1934 she married Hollywood agent Harry E. Eddington, who took her out of films for a full year to groom her for big-time stardom. Alas, the "new" Barbara Kent never did catch on with the public, and by 1941 she was retired from films. She died at age 103 in October 2011. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Born as Barbara Cloutman[1] in Gadsby, Alberta, to Jullion Curtis and Lily Louise (née Kent) Cloutman, she won the 21-year-old Miss Hollywood Pageant in 1925, the same year she graduated from Hollywood High School.[2]
She began her Hollywood career in 1925, aged 18, in a small role for Universal Studios, which signed her to a contract that year.[2] A brunette who stood less than five feet tall, Kent became popular as a comedienne opposite such stars as Reginald Denny. She made a strong impression as the heroine pitted against Greta Garbo's femme fatale in Flesh and the Devil in 1926 after Universal had loaned Kent to MGM to make the film.[2] She attracted attention in the 1927 film No Man's Law by appearing to swim nude. She wore a flesh-coloured moleskin bathing suit in scenes that were considered very daring at the time.[3] The popularity of this film led to her selection as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars for 1927. She made a smooth transition into talking pictures opposite Harold Lloyd in the comedy Welcome Danger (1929).[3] Kent was also featured with Lloyd in his iconic Feet First.[2] Over the next few years, she remained popular and received critical praise for her role in the 1933 film version of Oliver Twist.[3]
Kent married talent agent Harry Edington in Yuma, Arizona on her 25th birthday, December 16, 1932.[4] During a one-year hiatus, Edington groomed Kent for what he intended to be a high-profile career. By the time she returned to films, however, her popularity had waned and she was unable to establish herself again. She made her last appearance on screen with Columbia’s Under Age in 1941.[5]
Later years and death
Following the death of her husband in 1949, Kent retreated from public life. She married Jack Monroe, an engineer, in 1954.[3] They lived in Sun Valley, Idaho, later settling in Palm Desert, California. She repeatedly refused to discuss her film career or grant interviews. Monroe died in 1998.
Kent died in Palm Desert on October 13, 2011, at the age of 103. She is survived by her niece, Susan Monroe Russell (Roger); her nephew, John Monroe (Loretta); great nieces and nephews, Ryan Russell (Tanya), Kristin Russell Teater (Mike), Tasha Monroe, Andrea Monroe, Kara Monroe, and Forest Monroe; great-great-nieces and nephews, Mason Teater, Madison Teater, and Cohen Russell; and her longtime friend, Connie Martinez.

Hobbies
Kent had a great love for the outdoors. Always active, she enjoyed golf, fly-fishing, hunting, and gardening. She was a longtime member of Marakkesh, Sunland, and Thunderbird Country Clubs. She was a known as a talented cook and loved entertaining friends and family. Kent continued to fly light aircraft until her 85th birthday. She was still playing golf well into her mid-90s.
