LILLIAN GISH. Photograph signed: "With every fond wish./In
remembrance./Lillian Gish:/1982". B/w, 8x10. 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 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.
