her time. Along with several
of her colleagues she founded

showing her incredible range
in this performance.

She now appears to receive the

Life of Miss Mary Pickford".
The costume she is wearing
was designed for her by
Carmen Perez and her jewelry
and repaint by Ivy Perez.
This costume consists of a
pink brocade gown along with
silver sparkled tulle to
exemplify the era in which
Miss Pickford starred.
This costume also represents
her ingenue or girl next door
image so popular with the fans
of her day.
