| Summary | "Life and Lillian Gish" by Albert Bigelow Paine is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the life and career of Lillian Gish, one of the most celebrated actresses of the silent film era. It delves into Gish's upbringing, her journey into acting as a child, and her significant contributions to American theater and cinema. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Lillian Gish's early life in Springfield, Ohio, and the circumstances surrounding her birth, which some believed indicated a unique destiny due to her being born with a caul. The narrative shifts to her childhood, highlighting her family's moves and Lillian's introduction to performance at a young age. The opening chapters reveal her experiences as a child actor, often accompanied by her mother and sister Dorothy Gish, while showcasing Lillian's calm and introspective nature contrasted against the lively demeanor of her sister. As the story unfolds, the challenges and adventures of being a young performer on the road are vividly depicted, laying the groundwork for a deeper exploration of her illustrious career in the arts.
