Lillian Gish idézet

Lillian Diana Gish amerikai film-, színpadi és televíziós színésznő, akinek pályája 75 évet ölelt fel 1912 és 1987 között.

Az 1920-as és 30-as évek prominens filmsztárja volt, különösen a D. W. Griffith által rendezett filmekben, melyek közé tartozott az 1915-ös nagy hatású Birth of a Nation . A hangosfilmekben betöltött szerepei ellentmondásosak voltak, de tartalmaztak emlékezetes munkákat, mint a vitatott Duel in the Sun című westernt vagy a szokatlan Night of the Hunter című thrillert. Számottevő televíziós produkciókban is szerepelt az 1950-es évek elejétől az 1980-as évekig, és pályáját is az 1987-es The Whales of August című tévéfilmmel zárta Bette Davis oldalán.

Az Amerikai Filmintézet Lillian Gish-t a 17. helyre sorolta minden idők legnagyobb színésznői között. 1971-ben életművéért Oscar-díjat kapott, 1984-ben pedig az Amerikai Filmintézet Életműdíjat vehette át. Wikipedia

About

“When I was in films, we pretended to kiss but we didn't. It was considered unsanitary. Now they swallow each others' tonsils. It's disgusting.”

“You know, when I first went into the movies Lionel Barrymore played my grandfather. Later he played my father, and finally he played my husband. If he had lived I'm sure I would have played his mother. That's the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.”

D. W. Griffith
About

“I never chose money, I always chose people. I wanted to be around people who knew more than I did. I think that’s why I never fell in love with an actor. They never seemed to know any more than I did. I wanted to be with writers… My idea of a dream man was Thornton Wilder.”

Lillian Gish

“I don't feel I'm old. I just feel I'm me. And I've always been a happy person. I love the human race. I love my work. I love the world—I've been around it four times, you know. And I'm a believing person. I believe in God, even though I can't see him. You can't see the air in this room, right? But take it away and you're dead. And I believe there's something for us after we die. The world isn't wasteful. It keeps going on and I think we do too.”
