Story 205
Lillian Gish - In 1973, actress Lillian Gish was on a book tour in Cleveland, Ohio, autographing copies of her newly published pictorial volume, "Dorothy and Lillian Gish". My fiancée and I went to the signing and had the opportunity of talking at some length with her. I asked her if she and her fellow silent film actors were aware at the time of the impact movies would eventually have on the entire world. She said no, they did not. They were just actors who wanted to work. In fact, for a stage actor, she said, working in the flickers was a step backward in one's career. She added that she thought the great director D.W. Griffith knew and that he often told his actors so, but they didn't believe him. She graciously autographed the book, "To Hank, With every fond wish. In remembrance, Lillian Gish" What will my descendants think?
