A luminous memoir by one of cinema’s earliest and most enduring icons. In The Movies, Mr. Griffith, and Me, legendary silent-film actress Lillian Gish offers an intimate, beautifully written account of her life on stage and screen, and of her extraordinary collaboration with filmmaker D.W. Griffith. Her recollections open a window into the birth of American cinema—its innovations, risks, and unforgettable personalities.

This first edition includes charming early photographs, including the famous childhood portrait of Lillian and her sister Dorothy in their mother’s handmade needlework. Gish’s storytelling is warm, thoughtful, and filled with the grace that made her a defining presence of the silent era.

Collectors will appreciate the remarkably clean copy, with a Near Fine book and an intact dust jacket. The jacket shows one burn-like flaw near the bottom edge—likely from a cigarette—but is otherwise bright and attractive, now preserved in Brodart for longevity.

A must-have for fans of early Hollywood, silent film scholars, and any collector who treasures firsthand accounts of American movie history.
