A Girl of Yesterday is a 1915 American silent comedy film directed by Allan Dwan, and distributed by Paramount Pictures and Famous Players–Lasky.

[2] A Girl of Yesterday costarred Pickford's younger brother Jack, Marshall Neilan, Donald Crisp and Frances Marion, who later became a prolific screenwriter.

Rosanna Danford (Frances Marion), is “the wicked sophisticate” who has her eye on Stanley Hudson (Marshall Neilan), Mary's beau.

The flying scene in A Girl of Yesterday where Mary Pickford is taken away by an aircraft, was filmed in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California.

[N 2] The multimillion-dollar yacht that Mary Pickford and Marshall Neilan use on a date, belonged to "Sugar King" John D. Spreckels of San Francisco.

[8] Resident Scholar Cari Beauchamp in writing at the "Mary Pickford Foundation", described the loss of A Girl of Yesterday as particularly poignant.
