Looks like an interesting show. With all her early fame, Mary didn't get what she wanted. Seems like everything went downhill as her marriage to Doug failed....
It's nice that you can now post eBay links in these messages... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7505851838 For a nice 8x10 of Ollie and a...
Was wondering if anyone had any comments on this week's airing of "Mary Pickford" on PBS' American Experience. I'm certainly not an expert on Mary, but the...
... comments on the PBS special, I am very much in agreement with your comments. I believe that Olive contracted syphilis from Jack, which may have been part...
I also felt that they didn't discuss enough about Mary's personal life, other than her relationship with Doug Fairbanks. But where Mary's concerned, there...
Finally got my copy of Farnsworth's book about the Ziegfeld Follies. Great pics and stories on the Dolly Sisters and Olive! Those Dolly Sisters were really...
Certainly will! It's nice to get fresh content. I should note that I consolidated the Olive's Inlaws & Jack Pickford since there was only one picture in each....

... Since hi-res versions of images aren't seen by other members (and since our co-moderator has just reloaded them to the files section) the hi-res versions...
Since I haven't posted scans before, I didn't realize that the hi- res scans couldn't be seen by the other members. I thought that it would be neat that...
That's OK. Just post what you have and we'll find a way to make it work for the rest of the group. By the way that article was one of many compiled in the...
Was only able to watch part of it before going to work, so I admit my thoughts may be inaccurate. WOuld have like to seen more on Mary's personal life also but...
Hard for me to judge Jack's acting as I've only seen short film clips, but I do know that he was considered a very good actor, although he seems to have had...

Added a few edited pix in Ollie of the Follies' Motion Picture Classic album. These were pix from that article cropped and straightened and with article text...
Works great as a slide show! I love the more candid shots of Ollie with the cow feeding it the doughnut and the one of her having lunch with director Webb!...
For an interesting short biography of Jack, try "Stardust and Shadows". One of the more interesting comments on Jack is that he is often described as a man of...
Jack and Olive were both reputed cocaine/heroin users. In fact, one version of Olive's death in Paris had her out looking to "score" heroin for Jack who was...
A fair point, but I have never taken to the story that Ollie was a drug user. Acknowledge that she would have been the perfect candidate but never found that...
... Ollie was very unhappy with her life. She was leading a very difficult life. First of all, she was quite young. Secondly, this Hollywood life of the early...

Don't know if Ollie was a drug user or not, but if Jack was, she might have joined in. What I've read about the alleged (with a Capital A.)drug use was what...
