New York: Praeger Publishers, 1974. Mary's almost 200 roles spanned the formative years of film art, from D.W. Griffith's early short silents to the sophisticated sound films of the early thirties.

The life of Mary Pickford is full of romance, accomplishment, and glamour..... but also a great measure of tragedy. The preface by the author is followed with an introduction. Four sections of photographs are present. An appendix provides the films of Mary Pickford with the release dates and other pertinent information. This book closes with a bibliography and index. Red cloth boards. Gilt title print to spine. No ownership markings or inscription. A bright book in it's glossy, price-intact, illustrated dust jacket. Jacket illustration by Gill Speirs..
