Lillian Gish

the long version

"Whether treading the boards of a stage or riding the ice floes of Way Down East, Lillian Gish proved sure-footed and confident in her performing career. And what a long career it was, stretching from her stage debut (In Convict's Shoes, 1902) to her final feature film (The Whales of August, 1987)."--BOOK JACKET. "This bigraphy is the most complete chronicle of Lillian's magnificent 99 years. Featured are rare photographs and intimate recollections of Lillian, her sister Dorothy, and many of their friends and fellow stars."--BOOK JACKET.
