Later Life and Death
According to her daughter Pickford had once wanted to start a children's radio show. However Mary shot her down saying "One Pickford on the radio at a time is enough!" According to her daughter it broke Pickford's heart.
The last time Pickford saw Mary they were playing a Christian hymn, "Oh Jesus when I'm sad and lonely" on the piano. Pickford bet her sister a dollar she couldn't listen to it without crying. The girls apparently had a religious conversation, as by this point in life Pickford had taken a religious turn.
On December 9, 1936 Pickford suddenly fell ill and collapsed on the floor. She had suffered a heart attack and died. Pickford is buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in the family plot.
