This film explores the life of one of the most popular actresses of all time, Mary Pickford. Pickford was a gifted, intuitive actress, a top box office draw for more than fifteen years, and a powerful, enterprising businesswoman who carved an extraordinary career out of sheer determination and talent. Using home movies, archival footage, photographs, special atmospheric shooting and, of course, her own films, the documentary builds a complex portrait of the woman who held more power than any other woman in the history of movies and who was, at the same time, one of the most famous and loved people in the world, “America’s Sweetheart.”
