Mary Pickford Doc

[slobomotion]

Her signature is interesting. It indicates an equally masculine AND feminine personality.

I love Mary Pickford. She was a truly amazing woman. And never forgotten, lots of people my age know about her :)

[MyGward]

yep,born inmy hometown of toronto,ontario,canada.And who says canadian's can't be famous?

[SunShine8308]

@ranchai100 I don't think anyone is saying that a Canadian can't be famous, but it is a very small, discouraging market for developing individual talents. -"tarotworldtour"

There's a bust of her at 555 University Avenue in Toronto, right out front of SickKids Hospital old entrance by the benches.

back then we had Mary Pickford, Douglas fairbank, Rudolph Valentino, Charlie Chaplin and Greta garbo...now we have Vh1 scumbags and one remake after another. Demille is rolling in his grave.

Mary Pickford was an amazing person and actress.

She was and is an example of what Hollywood should be like.

Mary will always be loved.

How could i cite this in my project?

[sisterluke]

@MiniArnie I don't remember the formal way of citing a documentary but it's a PBS documentary that aired in 2005 titled, An American Experience: Mary Pickford. An American Experience is a documentary series on PBS that does bios on a bunch of famous people.

Having watched all 8 episodes of this. Someone I knew more by her house more than the Actress. All I can say is She was Why there is A Hollywood. She didn't have a degree or schooling. but, She was an OUTSTANDING BUSINESS WOMAN... AS an Actress she was Brilliant!!! Tess was an Awesome Film.. It should be remade Today. The nightmare she had of no one would come to see her films is unfounded. WE ARE STILL WATCHING.

[pellow22222]

shes canadian right?

[sisterluke]

@pellow22222 Yes she was born in Toronto

[kkallebb]

@pellow22222 She was born in a house situated where the Sick Children's Hospital now stands on University Ave. in Toronto. There is a bronze bust of her outside the hospital. She visited Toronto from time to time during her retirement and did some long, interesting interviews (still extant) with the Canadian Broadcasting Company in the 1950s.

@pellow22222 She was smart enough to get out of Canada so she could make something of her life.
