Postcard Photograph signed: "Sincerely/Mary Pickford". Sepia,
3½x5½. Mary Pickford (1893-1979) began working at Biograph Studios in
1909 at $40 a week. By 1912, she was making $500 weekly at Adolph Zukor's
Famous Players. Her salary was doubled periodically. In 1916, Pickford signed
an astounding contract with Zukor for $10,000 a week plus a $300,000 bonus plus
the formation of The Mary Pickford Company (later, The Pickford Corporation), a
studio devoted exclusively to the making of her films. She was also to share
the profits in Zukor's studio. Pickford was the first superstar of the
movies. In 1919, Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith and Douglas
Fairbanks formed United Artists to distribute their films. In 1920, Pickford and
Fairbanks were married. They separated in 1933, which coincided with Pickford
retiring from the movies. Pickford and Fairbanks were divorced in January 1936.
Later in 1936, she became First Vice President of United Artists and, in
1937, established the Mary Pickford Cosmetics Company. That same year, she
married former co-star Charles "Buddy" Rogers. Ink note on verso (no
show-through). Fine condition.
