You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Mary Pickford
ABOUT MARY PICKFORDFrom a very early age, MARY PICKFORD was determined to become a success. If she set her mind on something, Mary would not give up until she was in the door, and had the chance to prove herself. Whether she was surprising Toronto audiences at the age of five, auditioning for David Belasco, or convincing D.W. Griffith that she was worth more than any of the other stock performers in his Biograph company, Mary believed in her ability to overcome all obstacles.Her ambition may have stemmed from a need to survive in troubled times, but her innate talent is what made Mary Pickford one of the most incredible performers on screen, and her head for business made her one of the greatest perfectionists in the history of film.

I love Mary Pickford. American's Sweetheart. She was one of the founding members of United Artists (with Griffith, Chaplin and hubby Fairbanks).
Awesome lady. Made more money in a couple of months, back in the 1920s, then I will in my lifetime.
How's it going my friend? I haven't seen you over on my side for ages!
