Civil and polite and professional…to say the least.
…America’s only art form….
Lillian at the beginning of her interview.
Mr. Griffith laid down the canvas and with high hopes created drama that would entertain and possibly inspire.
America’s only art form has been less and less inspiring and more reflecting a dingy light that might of caused Griffith to wish he had never begun the magic if he knew how much debauchery would be spread throughout the globe.
On the other hand great works of compassionate genius have gifted many an audience.
The hope is still a high one, as long as practitioners dream of lifting spirits..and not demoralizing them.
I agree with you Mark M.

She herself was able to continue working after the transition to sound, though not all that frequently. She was in fifty film and television productions after 1928 (in addition to which were scores of interviews broadcast). She was the star of her last film, which was filmed in the fall of 1986, when she was 93.
