On this day in 1893, silent superstar Lillian Gish was born in Springfield, Ohio. I'd wondered if the silents had scripts with dialogue to memorize or if they just gave a general sense of what to say. I wrote to Lillian Gish - pushing 95 - and received this remarkable reply.

@MWKronenberg love physical media! I live down the street from @bestvid an amazing video store that's been granted well-deserved cultural non-profit status like a library. Every time in there is just pure joy. They have so much International stuff, movies organized by director, it's a Xanadu
