This week’s song is Mary Mary from Rhonda Stakich

And because the Ms. Stakich is Canadian, I’ve selected Mary Pickford, as the famous Mary this week.

According to wikipedia:

Mary Pickford was a Canadian-born motion picture actress, co-founder of the film studio United Artists and one of the original 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Known as “America’s Sweetheart,” “Little Mary” and “The girl with the curls,” she was one of the Canadian pioneers in early Hollywood. Her influence in the development of film acting was enormous. Because her international fame was triggered by moving images, she is a watershed figure in the history of modern celebrity.
