Silent film star Mary Pickford, known as "America's Sweetheart", was born in Toronto in 1892. A bust and historical plaque marks her birthplace, now the site of the Hospital for Sick Children. The plaque was unveiled by her third husband (of 42 years) Buddy Rogers in 1973. The bust by artist Eino Gi

ra was added ten years later. There is also a plaque for Mary Pickford on Canada's Walk of Fame on Simcoe Street just south of King Street.
