Your All "American" Girl was 💯 🇨🇦 *_Canadian_* 🇨🇦 Nice that she was so highly appreciated for a while - too bad they didn't mention her origin

I enjoyed this and Linney narrated beautifully. Pickford was a true great in cinema who held her own in a man's world

Why is she not memorialised in Hollywood? To the best of my knowledge no statue no plaque no award given in her name!

The only time they tributed her is with a theater and a place that was owned by the Academy Award ? It's sad that the only silent film star a lot of people know nowadays is Chaplin when in reality there is so much more

I watch this documentary from time to time. I really like it, but it is so sad when they critize when she's been given the honorific Oscar, not for been completely recognized for her efforts and beibg a pioneer on the film industry (she understood the Camara, she was an entrepreneur not only the etiquette of America's sweetheart) but for getting old? Horrified by the way she looked? Such a pity to minimize all the challenges she fought for, for sth so natural and that we all go threw.

Seems nothing really ever changes in this industry. Garland was told ''you're t oo little , & too fat'' ...These people came from. Nothing & made Something of their lives. However she was indeed a Talented 'actress'. Her beautiful eyes and the message conveyed in silence can easily be seen & understood from 'neath the brim of the endless parade of the ''Frappe'' she wore. (I can see why Queen Mary liked them soo much). Never again shall I dismiss this era of The Silent Movie'. Life never will be anything but a series of Hard Knocks (esp. with little or no $$$. Lastly, one can see why millions of women saw Movies as a way out of the grinding Poverty most of us are born into ... (few are born holding even $20. .. Talent , one thing & Luck anr. Getting them in sync . something else again. But as Woody Allen said 80 per cent of Success IS TURNING UP ... CR.

@Donnell Okafor Oh,; well it can't be very much money, or even old money. Though it is encouraging for those who would consider circumstances to be of similarity.

Supposedly a separate black movie industry. However, I have never seen any of said films. If there where you would think TCM would show them.

Feminists today are always searching for female role models. Even re-writing history to make new female heroes. Well Mary was clearly a great women in at the start of the movie industry.
