mary pickford


name? heard of. movies? ne'er seen. i popped into the *free* exhibit at the bell lightbox because who can refuse something that requires no monetary exchange, no regurgitation upon entry (ahem tim burton...)? of course there were but endless depictions of the canadian star, and clips from her oft-silent films (apparently her career took a turn for the worse after she was required to speak), but what i found most intriguing were the products spun out in her name - the cap (with or without veil!) and the array of treats for the complexion, among other items, this all in the early 1900s. silly me! here i was thinking it was the kardashians who had come up with the idea when it was the chilly north's own corkscrewed star!
