Lillian Diana Gish[1] (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993) was an
American actress of the screen and stage,[2] as well as a director and
writer. Her film acting career spanned 75 years, from 1912, in silent
film shorts, to 1987. Gish was called the First Lady of American
Cinema, and she is credited with pioneering fundamental film
performing techniques.[3]
Gish was a prominent film star from 1912 into the 1920s, particularly
associated with the films of director D. W. Griffith, including her
leading role in the highest-grossing film of the silent era,
Griffith's seminal
The Birth of a Nation

The Birth of a Nation (1915). At the dawn of the
sound era, she returned to the stage and appeared in film
infrequently, including well-known roles in the controversial western
Duel in the Sun (1946) and the offbeat thriller The Night of the
Hunter (1955). She also did considerable television work from the
early 1950s into the 1980s and closed her career playing opposite
Bette Davis

Bette Davis in the 1987 film The Whales of August. In her later years
Gish became a dedicated advocate for the appreciation and preservation
of silent film. Gish is widely considered to be the greatest actress
of the silent era, and one of the greatest actresses in cinema
history. Despite being better known for her film work, Gish was also
an accomplished stage actress, and she was inducted into the American
Theatre Hall of Fame in 1972.[4]

Early life[edit]
Dorothy and
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish with actress Helen Ray,[5] their leading lady
in Her First False Step (1903)
Gish was born in Springfield, Ohio, to Mary Robinson McConnell
(1875–1948) (an Episcopalian) and James Leigh Gish (1872–1912)
(who was of German Lutheran descent).[6] She had a younger sister,
Dorothy, who also became a popular movie star.
The first several generations of Gishes were Dunkard ministers. Gish's
father was an alcoholic. When he left the family, her mother took up
acting to support them. The family moved to East St. Louis, Illinois,
where they lived for several years with Lillian's aunt and uncle,
Henry and Rose McConnell. Their mother opened the Majestic Candy
Kitchen, and the girls helped sell popcorn and candy to patrons of the
old Majestic Theater, located next door. The girls attended St.
Henry's School, where they acted in school plays.
In 1910 the girls were living with their aunt Emily in Massillon,
Ohio, when they were notified that their father, James, was gravely
ill in Oklahoma. Seventeen year old Lillian traveled to Shawnee,
Oklahoma, where James's brother Alfred Grant Gish and his wife, Maude,
lived. Her father, who by then was institutionalized in the Oklahoma
Hospital for the Insane in Norman, was able to travel the 35 miles to
Shawnee and the two got reacquainted. She stayed with her aunt and
uncle and attended Shawnee High School there. Her father died in
Norman, Oklahoma, January 9, 1912, but she had returned to Ohio a few
months before.
When the theater next to the candy store burned down, the family moved
to New York, where the girls became good friends with a next-door
neighbor, Gladys Smith. Gladys was a child actress who did some work
for director
D. W. Griffith

D. W. Griffith and later took the stage name Mary
Pickford.[7] When Lillian and Dorothy were old enough, they joined the
theatre, often traveling separately in different productions. They
also took modeling jobs, with Lillian posing for artist Victor Maurel
in exchange for voice lessons.[8]
In 1912, their friend
Mary Pickford

Mary Pickford introduced the sisters to Griffith
and helped get them contracts with Biograph Studios. Lillian Gish
would soon become one of America's best-loved actresses. Although she
was already 19, she gave her age as 16 to the studio.[9]
Career[edit]

Gish made her stage debut in 1902, at The Little Red School House in
Risingsun, Ohio. From 1903 to 1904, Lillian toured in Her First False
Step, with her mother and Dorothy. The following year, she danced with
a
Sarah Bernhardt

Sarah Bernhardt production in New York City.

After 10 years of acting on the stage, she made her film debut
opposite Dorothy in Griffith's short film
An Unseen Enemy

An Unseen Enemy (1912). At
the time established thespians considered "the flickers" a rather base
form of entertainment, but she was assured of its merits. Gish
continued to perform on the stage, and in 1913, during a run of A Good
Little Devil, she collapsed from anemia. Lillian would take suffering
for her art to the extreme in a film career which became her
obsession. One of the enduring images of Gish's silent film years is
the climax of the melodramatic Way Down East, in which Gish's
character floats unconscious on an ice floe towards a raging
waterfall, her long hair and hand trailing in the water. Her
performance in these frigid conditions gave her lasting nerve damage
in several fingers. Similarly, when preparing for her death scene in
La Bohème over a decade later, Gish reportedly did not eat and drink
for three days beforehand, causing the director to fear he would be
filming the death of his star as well as of the character.
Lillian starred in many of Griffith's most acclaimed films, including
The Birth of a Nation

The Birth of a Nation (1915), Intolerance (1916), Broken Blossoms
(1919),
Way Down East

Way Down East (1920), and
Orphans of the Storm

Orphans of the Storm (1921).
Griffith utilized Lillian's expressive talents to the fullest,
developing her into a suffering yet strong heroine. Having appeared in
over 25 short films and features in her first two years as a movie
actress, Lillian became a major star, becoming known as "The First
Lady of American Cinema" and appearing in lavish productions,
frequently of literary works such as Way Down East. She became the
most esteemed actress of budding Hollywood cinema.
She directed her sister Dorothy in one film, Remodeling Her Husband
(1920), when
D. W. Griffith

D. W. Griffith took his unit on location. He told Gish
that he thought the crew would work harder for a girl. Gish never
directed again, telling reporters at the time that directing was a
man's job.[10] Unfortunately the film is now thought to be lost.
Work with MGM (1925–1928)[edit]
In 1925 Gish reluctantly ended her work with Griffith to take an offer
from the recently formed MGM which gave her more creative control. MGM
offered her a contract in 1926 for six films, for which she was
offered 1 million dollars ($13.4 million in 2015 dollars). She turned
down the money, requesting a more modest wage and a percentage so that
the studio could use the funds to increase the quality of her films
— hiring the best actors, screenwriters, etc. By the late silent
era,
Greta Garbo

Greta Garbo had usurped Gish as MGM's leading lady. Her contract
with MGM ended in 1928. Three films with MGM gave her near-total
creative control, La Bohème (1926), The Scarlet Letter (1926), and
The Wind (1928). The Wind, Gish's favorite film of her MGM career, was
a commercial failure with the rise of talkies, but is now recognized
as one of the most distinguished works of the silent period. Though
not a box-office hit as before, her work was respected artistically
more than ever, and MGM pressed her with offers to appear in the new
medium of sound pictures.
Sound debut, return to the stage, and television and radio[edit]
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish in Jed Harris' Broadway production of
Uncle Vanya

Uncle Vanya (1930)
Her debut in talkies was only moderately successful, largely due to
the public's changing attitudes. Many of the silent era's leading
ladies, such as Gish and Pickford, had been wholesome and innocent,
but by the early 1930s (after the full adoption of sound and before
the
Motion Picture Production Code

Motion Picture Production Code was enforced) these roles were
perceived as outdated. The ingenue's diametric opposite, the vamp, was
at the height of its popularity. Gish was increasingly seen as a
"silly, sexless antique" (to quote Louise Brooks's sarcastic summary
of Gish's criticism). Louis Mayer wanted to stage a scandal ("knock
her off her pedestal") to garner public sympathy for Gish, but Lillian
didn't want to act both on screen and off, and returned to her first
love, the theater. She acted on the stage for the most part in the
1930s and early 1940s, appearing in roles as varied as Ophelia in
Guthrie McClintic's landmark 1936 production of
Hamlet

Hamlet (with John
Gielgud and Judith Anderson) and Marguerite in a limited run of La
Dame aux Camélias. Of the former, she said, with pride, "I played a
lewd Ophelia!"
Returning to movies, Gish was nominated for the Academy Award for Best
Supporting Actress in 1946 for Duel in the Sun. The scenes of her
character's illness and death late in that film seemed intended to
evoke the memory of some of her silent film performances. She appeared
in films from time to time for the rest of her life, notably in Night
of the Hunter (1955) as a rural guardian angel protecting her charges
from a murderous preacher played by Robert Mitchum. She was considered
for various roles in Gone with the Wind ranging from Ellen O'Hara,
Scarlett's mother, which went to Barbara O'Neil,[11] to prostitute
Belle Watling, which went to Ona Munson.
Gish made numerous television appearances from the early 1950s into
the late 1980s. Her most acclaimed television work was starring in the
original production of The Trip to Bountiful in 1953. She appeared as
Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna in the short-lived 1965 Broadway
musical Anya. In addition to her later acting appearances, Gish became
one of the leading advocates of the lost art of the silent film, often
giving speeches and touring to screenings of classic works. In 1975,
she hosted The Silent Years, a
PBS

PBS film program of silent films. She
was interviewed in the television documentary series Hollywood: A
Celebration of the American Silent Film (1980).[12]
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish in 1973 (age 80)
Gish received a
Special

Special Academy Award in 1971 "For superlative
artistry and for distinguished contribution to the progress of motion
pictures." In 1979, she was awarded the Women in film Crystal Award in
Los Angeles[13] In 1984, she received an American Film Institute
Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming only the second female recipient
(preceded by
Bette Davis

Bette Davis in 1977) and the only recipient who was a
major figure in the silent era. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame at 1720 Vine Street.
Her last film role was appearing in
The Whales of August

The Whales of August in 1987 at
the age of 93, with Vincent Price, Bette Davis, and Ann Sothern, in
which Davis and she starred as elderly sisters in Maine. Gish's
performance was received glowingly, winning her the National Board of
Review Award for Best Actress. At the Cannes festival Lillian won a
10-minute standing ovation from the audience. Some in the
entertainment industry were angry that Gish did not receive an Oscar
nomination for her role in The Whales of August. Gish herself was more
complacent, remarking that it saved her the trouble of "losing to
Cher."[citation needed]
Her final professional appearance was a cameo on the 1988 studio
recording of Jerome Kern's Show Boat, starring
Frederica von Stade and
Jerry Hadley, in which she affectingly spoke the few lines of The Old
Lady on the Levee in the final scene. The last words of her long
career were, "Good night."
Radio[edit]
Gish starred in an episode of the popular
CBS

CBS radio series "Suspense".
The episode "Marry for Murder" was broadcast on September 9, 1943.
[14]In 1944 Gish starred in an episode of I Was There, broadcast on
CBS. The episode dramatized the making of the film The Birth of a
Nation.[15] On May 31, 1951, she starred in an adaptation of Black
Chiffon on Playhouse on Broadway.[16]
Honors[edit]
The
American Film Institute
_logo.svg/440px-American_Film_Institute_(AFI)_logo.svg.png)
American Film Institute named Gish 17th among the greatest female
stars of Classic American cinema.[17] In 1955, she was awarded the
George Eastman Award, for distinguished contribution to the art of
film, at the George Eastman Museum's (then George Eastman House's)
inaugural Festival of Film Artists.[18] She was awarded an Honorary
Academy Award in 1971, and in 1984 she received an AFI Life
Achievement Award.[19] Gish, an American icon, was also awarded in the
Kennedy Center Honors.
In 1979 she introduced The Wind at a screening at the Wiltern Theatre
in Los Angeles. She was a special guest at the Telluride Film Festival
in 1983.
Personal life[edit]
Lillian and her sister Dorothy, 1921
Gish never married or had children. The association between Gish and
D. W. Griffith

D. W. Griffith was so close that some suspected a romantic connection,
an issue never acknowledged by Gish, although several of their
associates were certain they were at least briefly involved. For the
remainder of her life, she always referred to him as "Mr. Griffith".
She was also involved with producer Charles Duell and drama critic and
editor George Jean Nathan. In the 1920s, Gish's association with Duell
was something of a tabloid scandal because he had sued her and made
the details of their relationship public.[7]
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish was the sister of actress Dorothy Gish. She was a
survivor of the 1918 flu pandemic, having contracted flu during the
filming of Broken Blossoms.[20]
Gish learned French, German, and Italian during 15 years in Europe,
which she first visited in 1917.
George Jean Nathan

George Jean Nathan praised Gish's
acting glowingly—comparing her to Eleonora Duse.

During the period of political turmoil in the US that lasted from the
outbreak of World War II in Europe until the attack on Pearl Harbor,
she maintained an outspoken noninterventionist stance. She was an
active member of the America First Committee, an anti-intervention
organization founded by retired General

Charles Lindbergh as its leading spokesman. She said she was
blacklisted by the film and theater industries until she signed a
contract in which she promised to cease her anti-interventionist
activities and never disclose the fact that she had agreed to do
so.[22]
She maintained a close relationship with her sister Dorothy and with
Mary Pickford

Mary Pickford for her entire life. Another of her closest friends was
actress Helen Hayes, the "First Lady of the American Theatre". Gish
was the godmother of Hayes's son James MacArthur. Gish designated
Hayes as a beneficiary of her estate, with Hayes surviving her by less
than a month.
Gish was a devout Episcopalian.[23]
Death[edit]
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish died peacefully in her sleep of heart failure on February
27, 1993, age 99. Her body was interred beside that of her sister
Dorothy at Saint Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in New York City. Her
estate was valued at several million dollars, the bulk of which went
toward the creation of the Dorothy and
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish Prize Trust.
Legacy[edit]

A retrospective of Gish's life and achievements was showcased in an

PBS series, American Masters.
The All Movie Guide wrote of her legacy:[24]
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish is considered the movie industry's first true actress. A
pioneer of fundamental film performing techniques, she was the first
star to recognize the many crucial differences between acting for the
stage and acting for the screen, and while her contemporaries painted
their performances in broad, dramatic strokes, Gish delivered finely
etched, nuanced turns carrying a stunning emotional impact. While by
no means the biggest or most popular actress of the silent era, she
was the most gifted, her seeming waiflike frailty masking unparalleled
reserves of physical and spiritual strength. More than any other early
star, she fought to earn film recognition as a true art form, and her
achievements remain the standard against which those of all other
actors are measured.[25]
Turner Classic Movies

Turner Classic Movies writes:[26]
Having pioneered screen acting from vaudeville entertainment into a
form of artistic expression, actress
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish forged a new
creative path at a time when more serious thespians regarded motion
pictures as a rather base form of employment. Gish brought to her
roles a sense of craft substantially different from that practiced by
her theatrical colleagues. In time, her sensitive performances
elevated not only her stature as an actress, but also the reputation
of movies themselves.
The Dorothy and
Lillian Gish

Lillian Gish Prize
A street in Massillon, Ohio, is named after Gish, who had lived there
during an early period of her life and fondly referred to it as her
hometown throughout her career.[27]
François Truffaut's movie, Day for Night from 1973, is dedicated to
Dorothy and Lilian Gish.[28]
Gish's photo is mentioned as an inspiration for a troubled soldier in
the 1933 novel Company K.[29] The luxury boutique hotel, Maison 140,
in Beverly Hills, began its historic life as the home of Hollywood
actresses Lillian and Dorothy Gish. In fact it was the Gish sisters
who converted the mansion into a home for young actresses coming out
to find their way in Hollywood. As they had hailed from Ohio they
understood the comforts that would be missed from home while exploring
one's dreams.[30]
In popular culture[edit]
The debut album of The Smashing Pumpkins, released on May 28, 1991, is
entitled Gish in reference to her. Singer
Billy Corgan

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

Lillian Gish rode through town on a
train, my grandmother lived in the middle of nowhere, so that was a
big deal..."[31]

born with the surname "de Guiche", in fact their surname at birth was
"Gish". According to Lillian Gish: Her Legend, Her Life (2001), a
biography by Charles Affron: "The Gish name was initially the source
of some mystification. In 1922, at the time of the opening of Orphans
of the Storm, Lillian reported that the Gish family was of French
origin, descending from the Duke de Guiche ... [S]uch press-agentry
falsification was common."
