"Lillian Gish (1893 - 1993)  In 1969 she published her autobiography, ""The Movies, Mr. Griffith, and Me"". In 1987 she made what was to be her last motion picture, The Whales of August (1987), a box-office success that exposed her to a new generation of fans. Her 75-year career is almost unbeatable in any field, let alone the film industry. On February 27, 1993, Lillian died peacefully in her sleep in New York City. She was 99 years old."
