This is something I suspect most of us old movie fans would love to have had the chance to experience: a lawn party at Pickfair, the home of Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford in Beverly Hills. This photo was taken circa 1935, the year before Doug and Mary split up, so the crowd here was probably one of the last to enjoy Pickfair hospitality. Mind you, if I’d been invited, I wouldn’t have been standing around on the grass…I’d have found a way to sneak inside and lookie-loo all over that house!
