ABOUT
LETITIA FAIRBANKS
Letitia Fairbanks, the niece of Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and
Mary Pickford, lived a life guided by artistic passions. In 1939, wanting to
commemorate her late uncle, Letitia began work on Princess April Morning-Glory,
allowing a creative outlet for combining her lifelong loves: painting, writing,
and illustration.
Holding
firm to her artistic identify, Letitia gravitated toward portraiture,
landscapes, and still-lifes. She was also a biographer, co-authoring Douglas
Fairbanks: The Fourth Musketeer, with Ralph Hancock. Her marriage to Hal
Smoot in 1966 marked the beginning of a particularly joyful and creative
period. Needle points and annual Christmas cards, which featured a painting from
the previous year, not to mention her role as a wife, mother, step-mother and
grandmother brought her much fulfillment. After a life rich in artistic
accomplishment, Letitia passed away in September of 1992.
