I would think the ultimate definition/example of hack would be Leena Lamont
in "Singin' In The Rain". Right on target!!!

I need to know the definition of a "hack" as we are talking silent films
here. Is overacting considered being a
hack? I just figured the presence of overacting/sentimentality was the
rule of the day in silent films. I can hear
the directors shouting through their megaphones, "Once again, with BIGGER
feeling!"

but Jeff, wait a second.. yes, she was a "founding mother", but have
you ever seen her films..
she was a hack actress
now I do think that her Award for being a founding mother is deserved
for what it is..
but as hacks go, she was-a-hacking
not quite as much of a hack as William Shatner maybe.. but hack is hack
is hack

i agree, tom.. but seriously... who is this guy to be insulting and
call her a hack (or any name for that matter)? that is totally uncalled for.
it shows what ignorance and stupidity there is out there.
here's just a brief summary of this "hack":
Mary Pickford was an Academy Award-winning Canadian motion picture
star, as well as a co-founder of the film studio United Artists and one of the
original 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Known
as "America's Sweetheart," "Little Mary" and "The girl with the curls," she was
one of the first Canadian pioneers in early Hollywood and one of film's
greatest pioneers.
Her influence in the development of film acting was enormous. Because
her international fame was triggered by moving images, she is a watershed
figure in the history of modern celebrity. And as one of silent film's most
important performers and producers, her contract demands were central to
shaping the Hollywood industry. In consideration of her contributions to
American cinema, the American Film Institute named Pickford 24th among the
greatest female stars of all time.

Hi Channing:
You best not say that publicly since it would upset the ghost of
Buddy Rogers and Pickfair. :)
