Mary Pickford
Mary Pickford: America's Sweetheart by Scott Eyman is a richly detailed biography of one of Hollywood’s earliest and most influential stars. The book traces Pickford’s rise from child actress to international icon, chronicling her pivotal role in shaping the film industry during the silent era.
Eyman explores her business acumen—she co-founded United Artists and was one of the first actors to gain control over her own productions—as well as her personal life, including her high-profile marriages to Douglas Fairbanks and Buddy Rogers. The biography also delves into the complexities behind her public image, touching on rumors of alcoholism and the challenges she faced as her fame waned with the advent of sound films.
It’s a portrait not just of a star, but of a woman who helped invent modern celebrity and left an indelible mark on cinema history.
