​@@FlintyCobblestoneMary was bigger. Only Fairbanks and Chaplin could really rival her in her time.

Quite the curio, if one can swallow down the interviewer's lack of tact: "You have a legend of being a smart businesswoman!" he informs Mary Pickford, who controlled United Artists for more than 35 years and kept it alive despite the fact that Griffith succumbed to directorial failure by being increasingly old-fashioned, Fairbanks took off early, and Chaplin was never interested in it. I guess when it came to girls, "facts" became "legends". And Swanson was a bit more than a Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty; out of all her silent films, why bring that unimportant moment up? Listening to this, you'd think: Bathing Beauty during the First World War, then, almost 40 years later, boom, "Sunset Blvd." Back to Mary, Wikipedia shows nothing about a movie ABOUT Pickford, but, of course, Swanson had already basically played Pickford in "Sunset Blvd". The aging woman rotting away in a cold Beverly Hills manse, increasingly drunk and dotty, with one man-slave (irl, Buddy Rogers) to keep her company, like von Stroheim does for Swanson in the movie. "Norma Desmond" was Mary, not Gloria.
