		Lillian Gish knew exactly what kind of entrance she wanted to make, she knew exactly how she wanted to look, she knew exactly what was to be done and how to get it done.
		Many commentators seemed to be affronted by the fact that Lillian Gish was so attendant to her image, to her place in history, to her legacy, as if recent movie stars don't have armies of public relations flacks to facilitate their public personae.
		Yet Lillian Gish had attended the birth of what used to be called "The Seventh Art," and she remains one of its greatest artists.

		Gish’s mother was horrified when she found welts on her daughter’s back from these scenes, but Lillian was willing to give anything for a performance, and Griffith took advantage of that.
		Gish is always praised for her courage, yet Griffith is never taken to task for risking her safety to get his silly climax.
		Gish is disturbed by his obvious sexual appeal and she puts off his erotic demands indefinitely; she wants the attention of men, but her real love object is herself.

	MMI Tribute: Lillian Gish
		When Mary Pickford, then Queen of the Biograph lot, first saw Lillian Gish, she observed that the delicate young actress was "not long for this world".
		Miss Gish's decade-long association with D.W. Griffith continued through his two early epics "Birth Of A Nation" and "Intolerance" and she became a life-long defender of Griffith when audiences of later eras attacked her mentor as a racist, as a sentimentalist and as an old-school pioneer unable to adjust to a rapidly-changing industry.
		When the movies began to talk, Miss Gish's film career faltered, although as a stage-trained actress, there was no real reason why her career had to be limited to just twenty films over a sixty-year period.

	Lillian Gish in The Silent Collection by Tammy Stone
		Her ability to tone down the gush factor made her well-ahead of her time, especially since the primary acting method in the silent era was the use of exaggerated expression.
		In 1915, Lillian starred in “The Birth of a Nation”, one of the most famous films of all time, and certainly an early triumph of cinema for its textbook use of new editing techniques, if somewhat controversial for its racial subject matter.
		Although she virtually made it possible and desirable for silent screen women to be the ultimate stars of the movies – male actors would become much more popular in the talkies – a new, more modern type of starlet was emerging, in the form of almost-masculine Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford.

		I have always thought that Miss Gish was a great performer and one of the most beautiful actresses ever, but it turns out she was a pretty smart cookie (except in the romance department) and lead a very interesting life.
		Gish fibbed about all kinds of things like her birthdate, her engagement, and the cause of her mother's stroke.
		Gish's image (which was still close to her actual personality, even if some of the details were not true) really hurt her in the 1920's when the fan magazines turned against her and MGM didn't know what kind of vehicle would be right for her.
