This ringleted silent film superstar co-founded United Artists with Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith in 1919 at age 27. Can you name her?

Although only 27 years old at the time of UA's founding in 1919, Pickford already had enormous star power and influence, along with experience beyond her years. She'd been a working actress since the tender age of 7, when her father's accidental death forced her to become the family's main breadwinner. The savvy businesswoman had also earned a hard bargaining reputation, having successfully renegotiated her salaries to unprecedented heights during the previous 7 years. The following year, Pickford married co-founder Fairbanks. The golden couple settled into Fairbanks's converted hunting lodge in Beverly Hills that came to be known as "Pickfair.
