Lillian Gish Room
The peach satin draperies in the Gish room reflect the
simple elegance of Ms Gish's time and personality. The
room's dual king bed with soft print bedspread and cozy
seating offers spacious comfort of the guests, while the
fabulous antique armoire makes a statement of quality and
substance that seems to dominate this special room. Ms
Gish has been known to gently remind guests of her
occasional presence, especially near her birthday. The
uniquely decorated ceiling may at times reflect her date
of birth, 10/14/1893. Ms Gish was last seen in Cambria,
which she loved, when she was 93 years old and was said to
be as lovely as ever. We cherish her.
Short Bio
Birth Name: Lillian Diana de Guiche
Born: October 14, 1893 in Springfield,
Ohio
Died: February 27, 1993 in
New York, New York
Not only was Lillian Gish born in the right era, but she was also
born with the ethereal beauty and grace to make her a
star in the silent film industry. If Mary Pickford was
the silent cinema's greatest personality, Lillian was
its greatest actress.
A consummate actress, Lillian seemed to take delight in suffering
for the art form that became her obsession. In order
to experiment, Lillian worked in extreme conditions
such as starvation, intense heat and bitter cold.
Soon, she became the quintessential silent screen
heroine, lovely and open to suffering. However,
despite her characters' apparent weakness, Lillian's
performances also let their inner strengths shine
through.
