Mary Pickford

Born 8 April 1892 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as Gladys Louise Smith.
Died 29 May 1979 at Santa Monica Hospital, Santa Monica, California, USA, of natural causes.

Sister of actor Jack Pickford and actress Lottie Pickford. Married to actor Owen Moore on 7 January 1911 in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA; divorced 2 March 1920 in Nevada, USA. Married to actor Douglas Fairbanks on 28 March 1920; divorced December 1933. Married to actor Charles ‘Buddy’ Rogers on 26 June 1937.

Mary Pickford began in motion pictures at the Biograph Company in New York under the direction of legendary film director D.W. Griffith. Pickford played a number of juvenile roles before graduating to ingenue leads in rotation with other Biograph actresses, as was Griffith’s modus operandi. Pickford left Biograph late in 1910 to make films for Thomas H. Ince and the IMP company in Cuba. Unhappy with quality of stories and production, Pickford signed briefly with the Majestic Motion Picture Company late in 1911 and continued into 1912, when she left Majestic to return to Biograph.

While on a world vacation, Pickford and Fairbanks sailed from Piraeus, Greece, arriving in Cairo, Egypt, circa 5 November 1929. On 12 November 1929, they sailed from Port Said on the S.S. Cathay for ports in the Far East.
