#在你们眼里, who are the top ten actresses #
Lillian Gish (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993), born in Springfield, was a silent-era actress and the first sweetheart in the United States. Her acting career spanned three-quarters of a century and was a witness to the history of American cinema, so she was also known as the "first lady on screen."
Lillian Gisch as a child
Her representative works include "The Birth of a Nation", "The Party Fights Against differences", "Heart of the World", "Whale in August", "Duel in the Sun" and so on.
She has a near-perfect face, rounded and intellectual elegance, a pair of deep eyes that are quiet and full of power, like a black hole that attracts everyone's attention.
Lillian Gish's father was a family-defying alcoholic, and her mother was a stage actor, perhaps to avoid her family-defying drunkard father, so her mother ran away with little Lillian and her sister Dorothy Gisch. Since her mother is a stage actor, Little Lillian and Little Dorothy have a wealth of experience on stage since childhood.
Lillian Gish's level of dedication is admirable, and in "Tears of Flowers", Lucy, who she plays in the play, is snatched home by her father and hides in the closet, who drags her out of the closet door with an axe and beats her to death. In rehearsing this scene, Gish just performed in moderation, and the director was already satisfied. Unexpectedly, she saved all her energy until the official start of filming, when she was trapped in the closet, when the axe was slashed, she let herself play to the fullest, and the desperate and fearful lucy was vividly expressed, even the director was stunned. This shot has also become the most painful scene in the movie. She delicately shows the fear and sorrow of the destroyed girl, which is also unforgettable.
As a talented actress who loved movies, Lillian Ji xu never married, dedicated her life to the film industry, and became a film activist in her later years, vigorously promoting and sponsoring the study of silent films.
Every year on October 14 (Lillian Gisch's birthday), the Museum of Modern Art in New York screens at least one of her films or TV series in honor of the great woman of the silent film era.
