Wow, she was so beautiful and had such an expressive face. She made both silent films and talkies so exciting because her eyes could just tell a story. And she looked so young even into her 40's. If the rumor of her eating rose petals to stay youthful is true, I may have to try it sometime. She was amazing, very muse-like.

Mary Pickford had a lot working against her when the talkies arrived:
1) She had just lost her "little girl" persona by cutting her hair (in March 1928). That's something the public could never forgive her for.
2) Early technology. They made Mary Pickford sound al squeezy, but she had a normal voice! Watch "Secrets (1933)" and you notice it wasn't that bad.
3) Personal problems. Her mother, brother, sister and two (ex-)husbands died within 11 years (1928-1939). Poor Mary couldn't handle

Mary Pickford looks pretty in all of her pictures

Such a beautiful girl. RIP

Great video! Well put together. I love the piano melody. One final note! I saw a picture of her just before she died and she does not appear whatsoever like she does in the pictures. It is sad how people become so old and fragile. Beauty just last a little while then its all gone. Not even hollywood's best doctors can save you.

Mary Pickford, Louise Brooks, Lillian Gish and Theda Bara are my favorite film stars of this time, they're so pretty (:
-
I red in an encyclopedia that she was the very first America's sweetheart....
-
That's true...
I DO wish she had continued her acting career in some way... Lillian Gish worked in the theater more after the talkies came along, and continued to make movies into her 90's.
But you're right, Mary had so much tragedy in a short time that it was too much to deal with.
