Tuesday, 9/10/13, Hi Jim:  Thanks for letter to the Sentinel-Tribune. In all conversations and in print please use the official name of the theater: The Dorothy and Lillian Gish Film Theater.  James Frasher tells me that Miss Gish never said "A happy life is one spent learning, earning and yearning."  I think he would know better than any one else.

The quote is on the Internet. If you Google Lillian Gish Quotes it will come up. The last I heard from the paper is they would not use the letter as it was too long. They wanted me to edit it but I never got back to them. I guess they finally decided to do. I'll take a look at it and see what  it says.   Cheers,   Jim Patterson     How many votes on this being the most famous quote by Miss Gish? Vote multiple times as I like metrics I can report.   James Patterson Happy Life to All!
