I started looking over these and was very impressed! But I hit one with a wrong large image, and one wrong one often means several wrong ones, so you likely want to get revising that ASAP before there are bids and you can't (stupid eBay rule). Great selection! Bruce On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 10:52

i agree, tom.. but seriously... who is this guy to be insulting and call her a hack (or any name for that matter)? that is totally uncalled for. it shows what ignorance and stupidity there is out there. here's just a brief summary of this hack: Mary Pickford was an Academy Award-winning

but Jeff, wait a second.. yes, she was a founding mother, but have you ever seen her films.. she was a hack actress now I do think that her Award for being a founding mother is deserved for what it is.. but as hacks go, she was-a-hacking not quite as much of a hack as William Shatner maybe..

I need to know the definition of a hack as we are talking silent films here. Is overacting considered being a hack? I just figured the presence of overacting/sentimentality was the rule of the day in silent films. I can hear the directors shouting through their megaphones, Once again, with

Rich, my two cents... Shatner RULES! I think he's brilliant in his own way. I always thought of 'hacks' as those who were unaccomplished due to lack of talent. Now some fail forward in Hollywood as in any business regardless of their lacking talent, but whether you like Shatner or not,

Holy Ghost of The Golden Years! I thought Channing was just kidding. And I don't think Fairbanks and Pickford are comparable to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Fairbanks and Pickford were bigger than Brangelina. In sports it would be like comparing Tony Romo to Joe Namath, or Kevin Garnett
