This profile of silent film star Mary Pickford explores the actress's life and career, as she not only rose to fame as the darling of an era, became the first actress to earn a million dollars, and won the first Best Actress Oscar for a talkie, but also helped found the Motion Picture Retirement Home. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

...an extraordinarily well put-together film, narrated by Michael York and skillfully incorporating a real treasure trove of archival materials, including many audio interviews with Pickford.
If you are interested in Pickford herself or just in the early history of the Hollywood film industry, this is an enthralling documentary.
A treasure chest of information about the early days of filmmaking and the contributions of 'America's Sweetheart' to the history of cinema.
