Letters from Lillian Gish 1956-1982

http://archives.nypl.org/the/21635

Dorothy Hanson was a fan of the actress Lillian Gish, who corresponded with her for many years and kept scrapbooks devoted to Miss Gish's career. Consists of letters and cards written by Lillian Gish to her friend Dorothy Hanson between 1956 and 1982, two news clippings, a photograph of Lillian Gish and her sister Dorothy which was autographed by Dorothy, and a program from a Dartmouth Film Society tribute to Lillian Gish. Although one of her notes speaks of attending the premiere of her 1978 film for Robert Altman, A WEDDING, Lillian Gish's notes to her friend Dorothy Hanson are generally brief and include little or no information related to her career.
