Auction History Result 1p0002 LILLIAN GISH original oil painting 1960s portrait of the legendary star, in ornate frame! Date Sold 2/15/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Vintage Original Framed Oil Painting (measures 19 1/4" x 23 1/2" [49 x 60 cm]; frame measures 26 1/2" x 31") (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this painting is unsigned, and we could find no information about who painted it. More difficult is attempting to put a date on it. It could be from as early as the 1920s, but we think it is from no later than the 1960s, so we are putting 1960s on this auction to be conservative, but we really have no clue, If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note this framed painting will need to be sent in a very large package that measures approximately 21" x 26" x 3", so bear this expense in mind before bidding. Condition: very good.
