☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA biographical account of Douglas Fairbanks' rise as a silent film star, beginning with his theatrical work around 1910 and his marriage to actress Anna Beth Sully, with whom he had son Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The narrative follows his early film career struggles and eventual success in Hollywood, his meeting and collaboration with Mary Pickford—which led to their marriage in 1920—and their celebrated partnership as major film personalities. The story concludes with Fairbanks' later life, including his divorce from Pickford in 1935, his 1936 marriage to Lady Sylvia Ashley in Paris, and his production of a new film starring his son, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.
This is the remarkable story of Douglas Fairbanks' rise from a restless stage actor to Hollywood's greatest swashbuckling star, tracing his journey from early struggles with temperamental directors through his marriage to Mary Pickford and the golden years of their celebrated Hollywood home, Pickfair. From his acrobatic talents that initially frustrated studio bosses to his shrewd business ventures and personal adventures across the globe, Fairbanks embodied a larger-than-life personality that transformed every role he touched into pure Douglas Fairbanks. A vivid portrait of a man whose boundless energy and charm made him not just a great motion picture star, but a great personality.
