Mary Pickford – the most powerful woman in Hollywood who in the end wanted to burn her fame

When starting to research Mary Pickford, I’ve come across a lot of superlatives:

> The most powerful woman in Hollywood.
> One of the Canadian pioneers in early Hollywood.
> One of the most popular actresses of the 1910s and 1920s.
> “Queen of the Movies”
> She invented modern screen acting.
> The first movie star.
> The most successful producer of the silent movie era.

Tazuko Sakane & Kinuyo Tanaka - The First Two Fema

Tazuko Sakane & Kinuyo Tanaka - The First Two Female Directors in Japan

When I was thinking about my next blog post, a lot of western filmmakers came to mind. Actually, not a lot, but enough. In case you don’t know this, I lived in South East Asia for 6 years, so I decided to dive into Asian filmmakers instead. I chose Japan, simply because I really enjoy the works of Akira Kurosawa.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T is a Cover?

For me, born in the early 80s, Aretha Franklin’s 1967 hit ‘Respect’ had always been there. A feminist anthem. A symbol of both the civil rights and women’s rights movements of the 1960s. A foot stomping, hip shaking, finger guns inducing fire straight from the belly of a powerhouse ...
