Auction History Result 7s504 LILLIAN GISH 8x10.25 still '20s pretty close portrait with a bare shoulder by Apeda! Date Sold 5/4/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Lillian Gish was born in 1893. 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 someone wrote "Dorothy Gish" on the back of the still, but they were guessing, and they were definitely wrong! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: fair to good. There is paper loss in the blank borders and a 3" tear in the left border with a few smaller tears (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
