And who better than his niece and Fairbanks family\u003cbr\u003ehistorian, Letitia, to relate that story? On-screen and offscreen, he was a\u003cbr\u003eforce of nature, progressing in easy leaps and bounds from the Broadway\u003cbr\u003estage to silent movies when feature-length film was just a few years old.\u003cbr\u003eHis happy, healthy characters and acrobatic acting style brought a new\u003cbr\u003eenergy to the medium. But it was through his extraordinary success as a\u003cbr\u003eproducer that Fairbanks achieved the goal of all creative people: to run\u003cbr\u003ehis own show. This he did by co-founding United Artists in 1919 with his\u003cbr\u003esoon-to-be wife Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith. As\u003cbr\u003ea producer, he showed visionary taste, collaborating with his directors\u003cbr\u003eand designers to enact gallant tales in spectacular settings. Whether he\u003cbr\u003eplayed a young man on the go or a swashbuckling hero in a fairy-tale\u003cbr\u003eland, Fairbanks—one of the thirty-six founders of the Academy of Motion\u003cbr\u003ePicture Arts and Sciences—put America’s hopes and dreams on film. This\u003cbr\u003eupdated version of the original 1953 biography has been expanded by\u003cbr\u003ethe Fairbanks family with archival materials as well as never-before-seen\u003cbr\u003ephotographs from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,\u003cbr\u003eMargaret Herrick Library.","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47206075531519,"sku":"9781493039920","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781493039920_s600x595.jpg?v=1781974592","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781493039920","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
