what a caress for my eyes..thanks everyone for all the beautiful pics of the very enchanting miss gish!!!
ruslana i agree.broken blossoms is heartbreaking.lillian gish´s performance is one of the most intense i´ve ever seen and richard barthelmess as the melancholy "yellow man" is touching too.in the end they´re all dead.battling burrows kills his daughter,the yellow man kills battling burrows and then himself.so griffith leaves the punishment to a higher justice (one can only hope there is one)...lucy and cheng huan however are certainly united in heaven...that thought is solace to the viewer´s broken heart.
Lady Stardust - awesome pics! She was a grand gal. D.W. Griffith once said of her "She is not only the best actress in her profession, but she has the best mind of any woman I have ever met."
