While she was quite a prolific actress (she made 51 films in one year - almost one every week), she was quite adept at directing movies as well. Along with her second husband Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffiths, Mary co-founded United Artists. The creation of this company also gave her the ability to distribute her films however she chose.
To see someone with such star power have the brains and the guts to become one of Hollywood's elite, is always refreshing to me.
