Mary Pickford, a Blessing and a Curse
The name of Mary Pickford remains inseparable from the legend of American cinema. She was the one who pioneered the star system at the beginning of the 20th century, becoming not only the biggest star ever known, not just in Hollywood but worldwide, at a time when actors didn’t even have their names on movie posters.
She was more than a pioneer; she took on all roles—global star, formidable producer and businesswoman, behind-the-scenes writer and director, studio mogul. On her own, Mary Pickford embodies the entire legend of cinema and the rise of women during that particular era.
