Researcher's Note
Gish’s year of birth
Standard reference works are divided on the question of Lillian Gish’s birth year, some giving 1893, some 1896, and some both. Gish herself favoured the 1896 date and may have been the source of it. A register of births found in the municipal health department of Springfield, Ohio, however, records the birth of “Lillian Dianna [sic] Gish” on Oct. 14, 1893.
