What a marvelous remembrance...........

she really called you? Goodness - please tell us about it!

You can tell class. Apparently, not today, however. Look what the "intellectuals" at Bowling Green State have done to her and her sister! Nothing but LITTLE people, all of them!

Wow. What a memory. An industry giant

You are so lucky! Please! Please! Tell us about it

One of the very very first stars of film, an ethereal beautiful young girl who helped invent the wheel with no words, just magic. Bless her!💛

And such close friends during their early careers! I say that if Mary had lived longer, and if the film had been made a bit earlier, it would have been so special to see Lillian and Mary in The Whales of August. Bette Davis, was, however, iconic as always.

Because they had faces then. DUH!

@@tsxtina2919 you know what I was referring to. However you felt your snarky response was necessary. If you can't be nice then shut up DUH.

No plastic surgery. Also, she was more attractive when she was younger than anyone today.

@@mike856ms you uncultured swine. That's a damn quote from Sunset Blvd. WTF you mean a snarky comment? Not my fault you don't get old Hollywood references.

@@aaronmccutcheon that's not true. A LOT of old classic Hollywood stars both male and female had plastic surgery and Miss Swanson is no exception. Nobody ages like that just naturally. Come on you should know better. Just like everything when it comes to classic Hollywood the stories they came up about them was to make them seem more than human. So basically these people were purposely mythazided and pretending they all look flawless with absolutely no help is was and is part of the myth. But it's just a flat out lie.

Beautiful and graceful and poetic, yes.

I love that she had such love and reverence for her sister.

Her speech was perfect. As was she.

I believe there were Close friends before they BOTH became famous in a anecdote when the gish sisters were watching movie they were shocked to see Mary in the film

Why would Pickford ever think about destroying her films?

Do you look like she did when she was your age? If you look "half as good" as she did (which is likely,) then you are probably on track to gain your wish!

Good luck for us dude

Orson Wells called Mitchum "a poet with an ax" he wrote all his life. wonderful stuff. check him out on the net.

Miss Lillian was 93 when she made Whales. All four of the principals, Lillian Gish, Bette Davis, Ann Sothern and Vincent Price were outstanding.

Her part was small but you felt she was in the entire film.

*I'm watching "The Night of the Hunter on YT now. She stole* *the movie with her light. RIP you beautiful soul!* 💖💫

....and ...she lived another 20+/years..!

77 years old here , and would live to 99. This ceremony was in March 1971

She was in The Wales of August 1987 at age 94 in a leading role, she was vital, attractive, fun and so interesting and compelling to watch, just adore her. What an actress!

She nearly 100 Years Old .

Really? She was in a abhorrent racist film are you’re literally black💀

My favorite is either Intolerance (1916) or Broken Blossoms (1919!

same with Mitchum. Orson Wells called Mitchum "a poet with an ax" he wrote all his life. wonderful stuff. check him out on the net.

yup. Orson Wells called Mitchum "a poet with an ax" he wrote all his life. wonderful stuff. check him out on the net.

Yes, and Bette Davis was a real C U Next Tuesday to Lillian Gish during the making of August.

The Silent Era lasted closer to forty years.

I agree 100%! Mitchum was a wonderful actor and I too hated to see him play the bad guy.

She stole that picture. Brilliant performance.

The debut album of The Smashing Pumpkins, released on May 28, 1991, is entitled Gish in reference to her. Singer Billy Corgan explained in an interview, "My grandmother used to tell me that one of the biggest things that ever happened was when Lillian Gish rode through town on a train, my grandmother lived in the middle of nowhere, so that was a big deal..."

I would have thought so too.

Lillian Gish was also a much loved stage actress. She did many New York Broadway and off Broadway plays plus acted in many regional theaters around the U.S. In 1953 she originated the role of Carrie Watts in Horton Foote's original play of The Trip to Bountiful on Broadway and on early American television a year later in 1954 to much critical praise. In 1985 Geraldine Page won a much deserved Academy Award for playing the same role that Lillian Gish did 30 years earlier in the movie version of the play

Gostou da atuação dela em birth of a nation ?

Legends get their names spelled right.

A good film. I think Vincent Price should also have been nominated, but Sothern was the only cast member recognized. Similar thing happened when Mark Wahlberg wound up being the only person from "The Departed" to be nominated.

I knew Miss Gish late in her life. She was always young and she was for real and lived for today. Wonderful, wonderful lady!

@Vera Didenko oh that's interesting. I don't know much about US states and accents, just what I hear on TV... and my/younger generation all sound very nasal... the old generation (like old episodes of Columbo or Murder She Wrote) sounded a lot more pleasant and less nasal to British ears!

@@Sawrattan it's the idiotic style now. in another utube interview Gish talks about her voice and singing training. everything from the diaphragm.

@@justthink5854 it's idiotic indeed. Even the way British kids today say "like" in every sentence, I think that came from American teenage speech... older Americans sounded much classier

She is a huge inspiration

There are too many political speeches and "jokes" to fit into their broadcast. There isn't time for greats of the past and such.

That’s not really true - Pickford chose to become a recluse - Gish was still active and a delight to interview. It’s hard to honour someone who more or less withdrew from the industry decades before. It’s a shame - I’d have loved to hear her stories and views but there it is.
