The Patience of Lillian Gish by Jim Patterson



Poor Lillian! This piece tested her legendary patience when the Christian Science Monitor reporter, Arthur Unger, published an article on her work and made a reference to her 1922 film "Orphans of the Storm."

In the syndicated article the reference became "often-of-the-storm." Miss Gish's answer from September 5, 1975, was gracious. She recalled her early film mistakes being on film and "up there on the screen for the world to see."
