Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Poor Little Rich Girl is a 1917 film directed by Maurice Tourneur and featuring one of the biggest movie stars of her day, "America's Sweetheart", Mary Pickford. Here Pickford plays Gwendolyn, the neglected 11-year-old daughter of a high-society couple. The father is too busy trading stocks and the mother is busy improving her social standing, and neither of them pay attention to their little girl. Gwen is left to the care of the servants, who are quite mean and seem to delight in tormenting her. In return she acts out, one time throwing her fancy dresses into the street and another time wrecking a bathroom sink. Nothing succeeds in getting her parents to spend some time with her—that is, not until an abusive maid gives Gwen an overdose of a sleeping drug.The Poor Little Rich Girl was a smash hit and maintained Pickford's status as a huge movie star, probably the biggest of her day (her friend Charlie Chaplin was her only real competition). It was one of the first of the Dawson Casting roles that she would later become strongly associated with (Pickford was 24 when the film was released). It was selected to the National Film Registry as typical of Pickford's work.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It's also very, very Anvilicious—pay attention to your kids, people!It was later remade with Shirley Temple as "Poor Little Rich Girl" (without the "The"). | |

Adventures in Comaland: After the maid gives Gwen the overdose, Gwen slips into a long dream sequence in which the people she knows manifest themselves in odd ways. For example, the bitchy maid and kindly butler call each other "a silly ass" and "two-faced" respectively, so the maid shows up in the dream having literally two faces and the butler is dressed up as a donkey. Eventually, she meets The Grim Reaper—interestingly, here portrayed as a woman—who promises her "eternal sleep". Gwen nearly takes her up on it until a playful fairy spirit who seems to be the Grim Reaper's Good Counterpart lures Gwen back to life. She then wakes up. | |
