Mary Pickfprd dies at 86 HOLLYWOOD (AP) Mary Pickfcrd, who reigned as America's Sweetheart during the colorful, formative period of American movies, is dead at 86 after 13 years of seclusion in her legendary home,. Pickfair. Her death Tuesday was attributed to a stroke suffered last Friday. -The journey to the hospital was one of the few times Miss Pickford, whose golden curls " and spunky innocence won her the adulation of millions, had emerged from the mansion since she withdrew from public life in 1966. In 1976, she appeared before cameras at Pickfair to accept an honorary award in recognition of her unique contribution to the film industry and the develipment of film as an artistic medium from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which she helped found. Miss Pickford was perhaps the first great international screen idol. In an era of such stars as Greta Garbo and Gloria Swanson, she was the first to have her name in marquee lights and command earnings of thousands of dollars a week. She was box-office gold for such movies as Pollyanna and Poor Little Rich Girl. The romance of the Pickford name grew when she married the screen's most dashing hero, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., in 1920. Even five years later, 300,000 people went to a Moscow train station to see them. The couple overcame the scandal that had resulted when they divorced their respective spouses to marry and live at Fairbanks home above Beverly Hills. At the opulent estate dubbed Pickfair, dinner was served from solid gold plates and guests might include Charles Lindbergh and the Duke and Duchess-of Alba.
