Lillian Gish (1893-1993) by James Abbe (1883-1973).
By inviting Abbe to join the crew of THE WHITE SISTER (1923) in Italy, Lillian Gish changed the course of his life: he never returned to New York, where he had been based, and he left his second wife for his third, the Ziegfeld Follies dancer Polly Platt.
Lillian Gish's keen eye for talent is most obvious in her choice of James Abbe as a portrait and stills photographer, so it is nice to have one of Abbe's portraits of her to mark that relationship.
