#OnThisDay, 5 Feb 1919, Mary Pickford co-founds United Artists in Hollywood with fellow actor Douglas Fairbanks, actor and director Charlie Chaplin and director D W Griffith. Their hope was to circumvent the growing studio system by owning their own creative output.

Pickford was also the first Hollywood movie star to sign a million dollar contract.
