Notes
Mary Pickford, petite blonde star
of the silent movies, was loved by audiences the world over as 'Little
Mary'. Never one to underestimate her own worth - she was probably the
first person to utter the line 'I can't afford to work for only $10,000
a week' with a straight face - she was a leading player in the breakaway
from the old studio system with the formation of United Artists. She
won a best actress Oscar for her role in Coquette (1928). 'Little
Mary' died in 1979.
She
was famous for playing the role of little girls and boys when she was
well in to her 30s. With her then husband, Douglas Fairbanks, she made
a silent version of The Taming of the Shrew and the audiences
hated it. With the advent of sound, Mary Pickford slid off the silver
screen, appearing a few times to make sure that she was never forgotten.
