Everybody's Sweetheart

Olive Thomas' last film, being released posthumously. And she left on a high note. This is her best work, displaying the ability to convey more subtly what she previously might have had to convey more overtly, while still being able to be bubbly and endearing at the drop of a hat, because that was just her. It's sad to see her there, so full of life, knowing that she'd be taken away not long after filming this. The film is sad, happy, poignant, hopeful, and has a happy ending. Moving Picture World reported on October 23, 1920, a month and a half after her death, "The sweet nature displayed by the character in Everybody's Sweetheart, Miss Thomas' late picture, is bound to live as an example of the star's actual personality. This role showed Miss Thomas as she lived, an adorable and sweet character, whose main object in life is to make those around her happy." That says it all.
