The neo-Tudor house at 1320 Ditmas Ave. in Brooklyn, recognized as Mary Pickford's house, is available for $2.99 million. Built in 1910 by Vitagraph Film Studios, the spacious residence reflects Victorian Flatbush charm and modern features, with six bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Although Pickford, dubbed 'America's Sweetheart,' never actually lived there, local lore holds onto its cinematic heritage. Experts highlight Pickford's significance as the first female movie star, co-founding United Artists with iconic figures like Chaplin. The house stands as a tribute to her legacy in film history.
The seller believes, based on her research, that this home was originally built for Mary as part of a contract negotiation. However, she ultimately decided to move to California instead.
This is actually one case in which it's very easy to say something that is pretty much inarguable, which is that she was the first female movie star.
