This is a loving tribute. She was truly an angel. She was a hard worker. She was a child actress who became breadwinner for her family.
She had pluck and imagination. She evolved to become a female brilliant light, in the midst of several male super talents. This was quite remarkable.
She was a friend of Lillian Gish. I was surprised by that. I had expected to find out they were rivals. Lillian, in an earlier documentary, said that she (Lillian) was such good friends with Griffith that she called him "David". I thought that Mary and Lillian each wanted to be known as Griffith's only female friend. Maybe I was wrong.
Seeing Amelia Earhart was quite a surprise. Amelia appeared to have stilted conversation, meaning that the scene was pre-written, rehearsed, etc. I thought that the men expected the women to cook the food, but it had already been cooked.
It was good to see shots of Chaplin and Fairbanks Sr. and Jr.
10/10
