The Little Darling is a 1909 comedy short produced by the Biograph Company of New York, directed by D. W. Griffith and starring Mary Pickford. It was released to theaters on a split reel with Griffith's eleven-minute drama The Sealed Room.
A woman who runs a boarding house receives a letter from a friend notifying her that she is sending her little darling daughter. The boarders, all young men, go to a store and buy toys and a baby carriage, while the woman gets a crib. Two of the boarders go to the train station to wait for the child. However, the little darling turns out to be a young woman.
The production was filmed in two days, July 27 and August 3, 1909, and at two locations: on interior sets in Biograph's Manhattan studio at 11 East 14th Street and on location at Cuddebackville, New York.
