Few people have influenced Hollywood history more than Douglas Fairbanks, a vibrant actor who thrived in the silent film era. In 1919, he co-founded United Artists with his soon-to-be wife Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, and D.W. Griffith, beginning a second career as a visionary producer. Written by his niece, Letitia Fairbanks, this updated version of the original 1953 biography has been expanded by the family with archival materials and never-before-seen photographs.
