HERSH, and who built her an equally famous Hollywood Hills castle/mansion and scandalously known as “Pickford”?

Are you talking about William Randolph Hearst? And Hearst Castle? It wasn't in Hollywood. It was north up the California coast and hard to get to at the time. Its a fascinating tour to take.

San Simeon, CA.

Hearst = OD = Original Derp?

Apparently Pickfair was an 18-acre estate in the city of Beverly Hills; Mary was married to film star Douglas Fairbanks. They had a studio called Pickford Fairbanks, but later combined with others to form United Artists.
