Mary Pickford once owned a house in Los Angeles. This was not the house called, "PickFair" that she lived in with Douglas Fairbanks. This house during the 70's and 80's was used as a suicide prevention center and also Methadone clinic and counseling center. The business kept many of the neat things, like the huge fireplace and the large kitchen. I was fortunate to have worked there as a telephone counselor for the suicide prevention, before there was a national number to call.

USAMcK, The movies today are so evil, dark and ugly. How they are called entertainment is beyond me.

RedFork2012, I agree with you for the most part, but I watched a movie last night called Leave No Trace for two reasons, it was set in Portland, Oregon where I live, and it had a 100% on rotten tomatoes. It was heart-wrenching but really good, and the song during the closing credits made me cry.
