1. John Charles Smith

Jack Pickford

Canadian American
actor, film director and producer. He was the younger brother of actresses
Mary
and
Lottie Pickford
.
After their father deserted the family, all three Pickford children began working as child actors on the stage. Mary later became a highly popular
silent film
actress, producer and
early Hollywood pioneer
. While Jack also appeared in numerous films as the "All American boy next door" and was a fairly popular performer, he was overshadowed by his sister's success. His career declined steadily due to alcohol, drugs and chronic depression.

Booth Tarkington

Edgar Pomeroy
