Autograph sentiment signed: "Happy New Year/Lillian Gish:/December

appeared in the made-for-TV movie, Thin Ice, and on an episode of TV's
The Love Boat. Lillian Gish (1896-1993), born Lillian de Guiche,
began her career as child actress "Baby Lillian" at the age of five. Lillian
and her sister, Dorothy (1898-1968), who often toured with Lillian, made
their film debuts (along with their mother, Mary Gish) in D.W. Griffith's film,
An Unseen Enemy in 1912. Over the next several years, Lillian, who is
credited as being the first true movie actress for recognizing the crucial
differences between stage and film work and delivering carefully crafted
performances, would make a number of films for Griffith, including The Birth
of a Nation (1915), Intolerance (1916), Way Down East (1920)
and Orphans of the Storm (1922). In 1923, she went to MGM, where she made
La Boheme and The Scarlet Letter (both 1926). In 1930, Gish
appeared in her first sound film, One Romantic Night (1930). Lillian,
who was known as "The First Lady of the Silent Screen", was nominated for a Best
Supporting Actress Academy Award for Duel in The Sun (1946) and received
an honorary Oscar in 1970 for her contributions to film. Fine
condition.
