She was one of the most legendary actresses of early cinema, with lead roles in Birth of a Nation and Intolerance. When sound came in she oddly switched almost entirely to the stage (as Paul Muni would do a few years later), just when most stage actors were moving TO Hollywood. She did have some choice film roles in later years, but none more memorable than as the righteous Miss Cooper in Charles Laughton's Night of the Hunter (who can forget her singing "Bringing in the Sheaves" with crazy preacher Robert Mitchum?), and in 1987, at the age of 92, she appeared alongside Bette Davis in The Whales of August! Some of her other movies include: The Wind, Ben-Hur, and Duel In the Sun (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). She passed away in 1993 at the age of 99. Important Added Info: Note that this auction is for BOTH a page, which has been personally autographed (signed) by Lillian Gish AND also a great vintage deluxe 11 1/4" x 14" still (printed on a heavyweight paper stock) with a portrait of Miss Gish taken by photographer Ruth Harriet Louise. Also note that the signed page (which has a typed quotation about success with a humorous comment about it handwritten by Miss Gish together with her dated signature) comes with a "certificate of authenticity" from Todd Mueller Autographs. Condition: very good. The signed page is in nice condition. The deluxe still has tiny paper loss in the right blank border and a few tiny tears in the borders, with some smudges and scuffs scattered through the still. Learn More about condition grades
