Film
Lillian Gish was born in the year 1887 in San Francisco, California. By 1915, her mother had become very ill and in order to avoid Lillian becoming an orphan, her mother sent her to live in the care of her half brother. Because of her mother's illness, Lillian had to take on many roles of responsibility when she was young with the help of her sister, who worked in the household.
She was initially placed in boarding school, but when her mother died, her father sent her to live in the care of her half brother. Her father promised to send for her when he had the money, but he never did. Lillian was left alone with her half brother and his wife, but it wasn't an easy time for her. She took on many of the responsibilities of the household and tried to make herself useful to them despite their cruel treatment towards her.
She was abused by her half brother and his wife, but she never showed it (the abuse was verbal).
Lillian Diana Gish (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993) was an American actress of the screen and stage, as well as a director and writer. Her film acting career spanned 75 years, from 1912, in silent film shorts, to 1987. Gish was called the First Lady of American Cinema, and is credited with pioneering fundamental film performing techniques. Gish was a prominent film star from 1912 into the 1920s, particularly associated with the films of director D. W. Griffith, including her leading role in the highest-grossing film of the silent era, Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915). At the dawn of the sound era, she returned to the stage and appeared in film infrequently, including well-known roles in the controversial western Duel in the Sun (1946) and the offbeat thriller The Night of the Hunter (1955). She also did considerable television work from the early 1950s into the 1980s and closed her career playing opposite Bette Davis in the 1987 film The Whales of August.
