Mary Pickford was born Gladys Marie Smith in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Her father, John Charles Smith, was the son of English Methodist immigrants, and worked a variety of odd jobs.
Her mother, Charlotte Hennessy, was Irish Catholic.
Mary had two younger siblings, Jack and Lottie Pickford, who would also become actors.
To please the relatives, Pickford's mother baptized her in both the Methodist and Catholic churches ( and used the opportunity to change her middle name to " Mary ").
She was raised Roman Catholic after her alcoholic father left his family in 1895.
He died three years later of a cerebral hemorrhage.
