Gish, herself, was more complacent, remarking that it saved her the trouble of "losing to Cher" (who did, in fact, win the Oscar for her performance in Moonstruck).
Gish's association with Duell was something of a tabloid scandal in the 1920s after he sued her and made the details of their relationship public.
Lillian Gish - definition of Lillian Gish in Encyclopedia (373 words)
Born Lillian Diana de Guiche in Springfield, Ohio, she was the sister of actress Dorothy Gish.
