Katie Melua: Mary Pickford (Used to Eat Roses)

In this hauntingly beautiful song, Katie Melua sings of the love of Douglas Fairbanks Sr for Mary Pickford ... who used to eat roses .. and the creation of the United Artists film studio along with Charlie Chaplin and David Griffiths. It's tender, moving and somewhat sad all at the same time. Simply wonderful, Katie Melua at her very best.

“Mary Pickford used to eat roses thought that they would make her beautiul and they did, one supposes”

Katie Melua Talks about Mary Pickford

Katie explains the song and the background to it. She says that she's on an Indie label and has always tried to do things in an indie way so the idea of actors getting together to form United Artists, to win freedom from the studios' control, appeals to her.

Mary Pickford Live

Katie Melua in Stuttgart, July 26, 2009

So many inferior artists mime these days. The wonderful Katie Melua sings live and this version of Mary Pickford is even better than the studio track in my opinion.
