Wed, 11 November 2009 ![]() I love Mary Pickford and it is my pleasure and honor to have a chance to speak with documentary filmmaker Hugh Munro Neely about Mary Pickford. In addition to being a filmmaker, Hugh Neely is also the curator of the Mary Pickford Institute Library in Recommended books on Mary Pickford: To listen to the complete 1959 CBC interview with Mary Pickford: Rob Brooks' beautiful collection on Mary Pickford can be found here: http://www.211university.ca/home.php Hugh and I discussed, briefly, The New York Hat, a 1912 Biograph film starring Mary Pickford and a much younger Lionel Barrymore than you normally see. Do give it a look, Mary's performance is remarkably mature and touching for a 1912 film.
