	Marie Dressler - Northern Stars
		Marie was a fast learner, and seeing what other major stars were doing, notably her friend Mary Pickford who had cofounded United Artists, she decided to form own production company in 1917.
		Marie was 55 and for all intents and purposes her career was over, so a memoir seemed appropriate.
		Although Marie Dressler always considered herself to be an ugly duckling, as the title of her first memoir clearly shows, she probably never realized how beautiful she was to her large and loyal audience.

		Marie found a niche in comic opera and after she had established herself as a valued comedian able to sing well, dance, turn somersaults and take falls, she rose to leading roles in musical comedies and revues and headliner status in vaudeville.
		In the bright spotlight of publicity, Marie announced all her enthusiasms, broke contracts, sued adversaries, worked hard for the rights of performers—including the lowly, ill-paid chorus girls, even got into a brawl or two.
		But Marie kept her personal life in a shade of lies, half truths and evasions.

		Marie involved herself in political affairs, making sure the actors union treated her peers fairly and in doing so, she may have been limiting her own abilities in front of the camera yet she persevered and made several come-backs before her spot light dimmed.
		Marie's wide open-mouthed smile, guttural, contagious laugh, and her ability to poke fun at herself all the while taking herself seriously were some of the reasons she was adored by many.

		Marie Dressler: The Unlikeliest Star is primarily a biography, much needed for so elusive a subject, but not especially illuminating to students of film.
		Mary Pickford's father left the family when she was three and died an alcoholic when she was six; she was brought up and driven by a mother whose ambitions matched and motivated her own.
		The only reference to Dressler in Pickford directly refers to these fund drives, whereas Marie Dressler makes several references to Pickford, claiming that the two were friends, a contention not altogether borne out by Pickford's mildly disparaging remarks in her autobiographical Sunshine and Shadow.

		Dressler appeared sporadically in silent films thereafter but did not have significant success.
		Dressler gained film stardom and immense popularity, however, with several commanding yet warm performances in the early 1930s as both understanding, faded dowagers ("Dinner at Eight" 1933, "Emma" 1932) and slovenly but good-hearted proletarian types ("Tugboat Annie" 1933).
		Her partner in the latter was her most frequent male co-star, Wallace Beery, with whom she could easily keep up in the roughhousing department, Dressler was also paired with neurasthenic comedian Polly Moran for knockabout antics in films including "Caught Short" (1930), "Reducing" (1931) and "Prosperity" (1932).

	Silent Film Sources Review
		Dressler plays Tillie as big and homely, but the comedienne has excellent timing and is light on her feet.
		Dressler handles this sequence beautifully, guzzling her drink, only to spray it over Chaplin, followed by a success of exaggerated takes, and an extended drunk scene.
		Dressler is fully Chaplin's equal at scene stealing, and the otherwise delightful Mabel Normand is overshadowed.

		Dressler was cast against type in the sort of role Ava Gardner took after she'd worked her way through an ocean of booze and an arena full of matadors.
		Marie Dressler is excellent and is fun to watch, though Harlow has always gotten all the raves; she's good but just a tad too over the top for me with her whiney voice, platinum hair, and outrageous costumes.
		Marie Dressler mugs, pouts and manipulates her rubber face creating an hilarious portrayal of an over the hill star.

		She was homely, overweight, and over the hill, but there was a time when Marie Dressler outdrew such cinema sex symbols as Garbo, Dietrich, and Harlow.
		Dressler was an astute observer of public mood and taste.
		When she was lucky enough to find work in the newly minted Hollywood talkies, she grabbed the brass ring with fierce enthusiasm, even making three films in the year before her death, when she was so sick she had to rest between scenes on a sofa just out of camera range.
