Lillian Gish 1971/1972.


Lillian Gish's 1972 entry in Who's Who in America. Note it listed her address at Sutton Place.



Lillian Gish on The Dick Cavett Show (ABC 1971) Her book, The Movies, Mr. Griffith and Me, was published in 1969 and the paperback copy was released about 1971. She called the hardback book "the mother" and the smaller paperback "the child."

Other guests included Satchel Paige and Salvador Dali, who brought an anteater with him. The anteater jumped into Miss Gish's lap and she was rather comfortable with it. When it jumped on Satchel Paige he seemed very uneasy with it. It is an entertaining broadcast and Dick Cavett is brilliant, brainy, blond, and boyishly slim.
