As seemingly pretty much everyone - even folks who've never seen a single one of her many movies - readily knows, Mary Pickford (born Gladys Louise Smith), 1892-1979, is a huge star of yesteryear.

"Little Mary" (whose height was approximately 4'/10") was a definite master of being able to entirely believably portray - both actions and looks wise - a little girl well into adulthood, and could even perform with actual real children and would herself come across entirely convincingly as the genuine article.

In addition to her work in front of the camera, Mary is very well known for having been a co-founder of United Artists film studio, also one of the co-founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).
