About this event

June 8, 4:00 pm. Multi-faceted writer, director, performer, producer Michelle Cohen explores “Mary Pickford: The World’s First Major Movie Star,” her rise to fame from a penniless pioneer in a new medium to an astute businesswoman and actress. Her relationships with husband Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith resulted in the formation of United Artists. As an actress, her work defined film acting. As a producer, she set standards for high quality. She helped shape the trade through precedent-setting contracts, foundation of the Academy, as well as the Oscars annual event. Mary’s decisions still influence Hollywood.

Ventfort Hall has a strict no-refund policy and tickets are nontransferable. Please ensure you have a strong internet connection and access to Zoom before purchasing tickets.

Tickets purchased on Eventbrite are for the streamed lecture online. This lecture will be shown online via Zoom only with no in-person attendance.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as an important partner of the Lenox Cultural District, one of the five such Berkshire County districts, Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum was built in 1893 for George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of legendary financier J. Pierpont Morgan. Tours of the historic mansion are offered daily, as well as Tea & Talks, such exhibitions as the Bellefontaine Collection, concerts, theater and other programs. This elegant Jacobean-Revival Berkshire “cottage” is open to the public year-round and is available for private rental. Ventfort Hall, also an Official Project of Save America’s Treasures program sponsored by The White House, has undergone substantial restoration, which continues.
