Before, During And After #12: Lillian Gish

I don't have any photos from Lillian Gish's childhood, and the phrase "before, during and after" doesn't really apply here anyway, since she acted from age 18 until shortly before her death at age 99. Instead, to celebrate her birthday, how about a series of photos from key moments in her career?

An Unseen Enemy (1912) (her debut with sister Dorothy)

Broken Blossoms (1919)

The Wind (1928)

The Night of the Hunter (1955)

The Whales of August (1987) (her final film, with Bette Davis)
