Encore January 28, 2008, 9:00-10:30 p.m. ET (check local listings)
This program charts the rise and fall of one of Hollywood's top
players. Born Gladys Smith, Pickford successfully climbed from
stage actress to international film star to production executive at
United Artists - a company she founded. In true Hollywood style,
"America's Sweetheart" also married leading man Douglas Fairbanks,
who presented her with an 18-acre estate, Pickfair, in Beverly
Hills. Produced by Sue Williams and Kathryn Dietz ("Eleanor
Roosevelt").
