Happy Belated Birthday, Lillian Gish

I don't really remember how I discovered Miss Lillian, but I was rather young and in one of my nerdy moments of becoming obsessed with something way older than even my grandparents. I remember finding a book in my library that was about her and from that moment on she has been one of my most beloved Silent Film stars and heroines. I have read several books about her, got teary eyed during most of her films and have always thought of her first when I think of silent films.

Her birthday was on the 14th of October, but still completely worthy of mention. She was born in 1893 and lived to be 99.

Some of her early silent films are:
Broken Blossoms, True Heart Susie, The White Sister and D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation

So, Happy Birthday dear Lillian.
