 Dorothy Gish, Actress - Silent & 'Talkies' Films
Dorothy Gish, Actress - Silent & 'Talkies' Films
Dorothy Elizabeth Gish (born March 11th, 1898 in Dayton Ohio, and died June 4th, 1968 in Rapallo Italy) was an actress who began her acting career in the 1918 World War I film "Hearts of the World" where she played a comical role as a street singer. Dorothy's performance did so well, that Paramount produced a series of seven comedies where Dorthy Gish played the main role - specializing in pantomime and comedy; all of which generated significant profits for the production studio. Unfortunately, nearly all of these films have been lost/damaged.

Dorothy Gish appeared in a few other films, stage productions, and television series venturing into the new medium of 'talking pictures'. Her sister, Lillian Gish, had an acting career (predominately performing in large epic roles) which spanned 75 years across the stage, films, and television.

Lillian Gish Silent Screen Star
Lillian Gish Silent Screen Star
Lillian Gish began as a star of the silent screen, but went on to have a 75 year career in movies, the stage, and television. Her last movie was The Whales of August in 1987 - at the age of 93. She died at 99 years of age.

Isn't this the most beautiful picture? The lighting, her clothes - the caption says she's wearing a pink morning gown of chiffon and lace but I think the photo is great in black and white.
