Black-and-white photograph. Left: a young Mary Pickford, smiling brightly, wearing a dark sweater with light trim and a long necklace, her bobbed hair softly curled. Right: acclaimed screenwriter Frances Marion, also smiling, dressed in a dark coat and large velvet cloche hat pulled low over one eye, a pearl necklace visible at her collar. Their canvas chair backs read “Mary Pickford” and “Frances Marion” in bold lettering. Behind them, blurred ladders and film equipment hint at the bustle of early Hollywood. The image captures the warmth and creative partnership between America’s sweetheart and the highest-paid screenwriter of the silent era—pioneers who shaped cinema when few women held such power behind or in front of the camera.

Frances Marion--perhaps the most renowned female #screenwriter of the 20th century--was born #OTD in 1888.

A trailblazer in the male-dominated film industry, she wrote >300 screenplays & was the first person to win two Academy Awards for writing. #WomenInFilm #film

Truth

If you want to be authentic, be prepared to be disliked. If you want to be private, be prepared to be gossiped about. If you want to stick to your boundaries, be prepared to be seen as unfriendly. If you don't want to explain yourself, be prepared to be misunderstood.
