I remember a TV Movie adaptation of Polyanna starring Keisha Knight-Pullam who brings together a racially segregated town. It also had a sequel. I think it was produced by Disney. I believe it was in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Anyone have more info? -- BlueNight 13 Aug 2005
I have recently become familiar with a Pennsylvania (and surrounding area) colloquialism. "Pollyanna" is used to describe a one-for-one gift exchange, as a 'Secret Santa'. I have also encountered the term "Chinese Pollyanna" used to describe a similar gift exchange where numbers are drawn at random to determine the order of selection.
Per this article http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-pol2.htm, it appears to have derived its usage after the publication of the Pollyanna books, used originally as "Pollyanna gift exchange". Anyone with additional information, please share it. Wpjonathan 18:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
The sermon preached by Pastor Ford in Pollyanna, titled "Death Comes Unexpectedly". Was it written as an original for the film? or was it taken from a real-life hell, fire, and brimstone preacher such as Jonathan Edwards? It certainly could be Edwards!
Does anyone know the source?
Rewriting, refactoring and extending the article, I had need of some PLACE names I no longer have ready to hand. I've tagged at least three places with {{ fact}} where these guess should be put on firmer ground. Forgive, it's probably been 35 years since reading this gem.

No, Pollyanna was not the film that was the major turning point in Pickford's career. She was the star of many other successful films before this one, and was recognized as "America's Sweetheart" by the time World War I began. Newsflash, you appear to think your always right when you're not. Wikipedia is not the place to flash your ego.
Read it better Ms. Knott, it said THE defining point. Kevin j ( talk) 23:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
No it said " Mary Pickford's 1920 adaption defined her career." And you said this was vandalism. Plus the only reason you are even on this page is because you followed Thegingerone here. Stop it. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 05:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
No, she played these roles earlier too and this wasn't "the" defining moment in her career. Maybe it helped make her a top star at her jointly owned film company United Artists, but it wasn't "the defining moment of her career." Like you told me earlier, read a book. I'm not stalking anybody. Though I haven't mentioned it in my talk page I love to organize articles pertaining to film history, and I am an official member of WikiProjectFilms Kevin j ( talk) 20:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
One of my biggest problem with calling this a defining role for Pickford is that her article doesn't even mention the Pollyanna film. The other problem is that all of this could be settled by a source being added that supports the contention that it helped define her. I have to say I don't agree with the statement that this was the height of her fame. Her article points to that as starting in 1914, and specifically discusses her appearance in 1914's Tess of the Storm Country. As far as it helped make her a top star" at UA, that isn't true either. Her status as top star was well established, both before and by helping form UA. What her article on PBS.org says about Pollyanna is that it "further solidified the little girl persona Pickford's fans loved." So no, it's not a defining role. Having said that, this argument over all these articles is getting ridiculous. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 06:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Pollyanna doesn't fall from a tree, she's hit by a car - at least in the book anyway, which is what the plot summary is - I would hope - supposed to summarise. It's correct later down the page, but not in the summary.

Poppy in Mike Leigh's film Happy Go Lucky is not a modern incarnation of the Pollyanna character. Leigh denies this interpretation outright around 4:55 in this youtube video. As such I'm removing this reference.-- 71.8.78.170 ( talk) 05:02, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
