Olive Thomas - 1894-1920
I regret those mistakes that are painfully obvious in this sketch, but it is just a sketch. I may attempt this one again. She lived an amazing, but very short life which ended in accidental ingestion of mercury bichloride. I particularly like the quote about her and her husband, Jack Pickford, that is cited on wikipedia (oh, shoot me, it's a good starting resource). Attributed to Mary, Jack's sister, "[Olive] and Jack were madly in love with one another but I always thought of them as a couple of children playing together..."
I can't help but think that that's the way it should be.
