[edit] picture
Perhaps someone can find a less blurry picture of her? --Infrogmation 18:17 16 May 2003 (UTC)
- I found one. -- Infrogmation 02:27 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Marriage with Fairbanks
Did Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford get married on March 28, 1920 ? The Wikipage Douglas Fairbanks says March 18. Can someone in the know confirm the date and fix this accordingly, pl PFHLai 03:29, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)
- It's 28 (twenty-eighth) March 1920 in Charles Kidd's Debrett Goes to Hollywood, p. 47. - Nunh-huh 03:34, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Thanks. And thank you for fixing the Douglas Fairbanks page, too. -- PFHLai 04:15, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)
[edit] Pay rate question
205.188.117.71 (talk • contribs) changed "$5 a week" to "$5 a day". I don't know which is right. The change could be innocent but it looks like possible vandalism. Anybody know or have a source to check? -- WCFrancis 01:27, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
1941 Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers (later to become United Artists according to the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers wikipage) founded?? According to unitedartist.com and Charlie Chaplin's page UA was founded in 1919. Is the 1941 date incorrect?? --Stmoose 06:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

- The 1941 date is definitely wrong. Pickford was retired by then, and Fairbanks was dead. Rossrs 08:38, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Date
I am curious if anyone knows if the date listed in the article (1895) when Pickford's father abandoned the family is wrong? Her younger brother, actor Jack was born in 1896. I have never heard that they are step-brother and sister. Could this date of abandonment or Jack's birth year be wrong? ExRat 01:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- He could have ditched the family from April to December 1895, after the mother became pregnant. Hbdragon88 06:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article state that the father is Methodist and her mother Catholic
It then states she is raised in the Catholic faith by her mother in line with the father's religious heritage. Maybe I'm reading it wrong though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 159.142.20.178 (talk) 12:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Stamps
The stamps footnote 6 link doesn't work. I wanted to find whether they each had their own stamp or, as the text says, they were all on one stamp. Korky Day 06:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
