An Original Vintage 6 3/4" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm] News Photo (Learn More) D.W. Griffith was one of the most famous directors of all time from the 1900s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages, Way Down East, Orphans of the Storm, Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl, Judith of Bethulia, and The Birth of a Nation (the movie he is best remembered for, but which is extremely controversial today, because of its depiction of post-Civil-War-era black African Americans). He passed away in 1948 at the age of 73 AND Lillian Gish was born in 1893. She was one of the most legendary actresses of early cinema, with lead roles in Birth of a Nation and Intolerance. When sound came in she oddly switched almost entirely to the stage (as Paul Muni would do a few years later), just when most stage actors were moving TO Hollywood. She did have some choice film roles in later years, but none more memorable than as the righteous Miss Cooper in Charles Laughton's Night of the Hunter (who can forget her singing "Bringing in the Sheaves" with crazy preacher Robert Mitchum?), and in 1987, at the age of 92, she appeared alongside Bette Davis in The Whales of August! Some of her other movies include: The Wind, Ben-Hur, and Duel In the Sun (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). She passed away in 1993, at the age of 99.
