Description

The earliest film superstars were “America’s Sweetheart,” Mary Pickford, and “The Tramp,” Charlie Chaplin, who partnered in January 1919 with Pickford’s husband, actor Douglas Fairbanks and the most innovative and controversial filmmaker, D.W. Griffith, to form United Artists, a new distribution company that gave them the ability to fund and control the content of their films.
