Lillian Gish, Mary Martin, 1981 TV Interview

[@jimbob1277]

Lillian Gish is such a doll in this, so charming, present and generous of spirit. She has such life in those eyes! I could listen to her all day.

[@mmjhcb]

Two absolute legends. The very definition of the term.

[@larrygevirtz30]

Lillian Gish was pushing 90 here, but you couldn't tell that by looking at her. And Mary Martin was a most charming hostess.

[@Dianaemanuel]

Gish looks amazing here. Martin was a natural for TV interviewing wasn't she?

[@CanadianMonarchist]

Did Mary Martin ever have her own TV show? She should have.

Omg I was born that year 😱 I'm 43 years old now and when I watch interviews and sitcoms, before I was born and the year I was born, I'm blown away... because it's like a Time capsule. A infant Born that year in 1981, you can never imagine back then those infants would watch 41 years later on a small phone. These women were ground breakers...they broke barriers. The crazy thing is Miss Lillian Gish out lived the legendary women who is interviewing her the late great Mary Martin. Mary Martin was born in 1913 and Lillian Gish was born in 1893. Do the math folks, Miss Lillian Gish was 20 years old when Mary Martin was born in 1913. She out lived her. Mary Martin passed away in 1990 at age 76, and Lillian Gish passed away in 1993 at age 99. It's crazy to know that. RIP to both of them, two extraordinary pioneers Lillian Gish 1893-1993🎬⭐🎞️🎥🕊️🌹 Mary Martin 1913-1990 🎬⭐🎞️🎥🕊️🌹

Wow, such a lovely little chat between two talented and sweet ladies. Love the little kiss at the end. Mary Martin should have had a talk show. Such a natural conversationalist. She just breezed through that beautifully.

R.I.P. Mary Martin (1913-1990) and Lillian Gish (1893-1993).

[@jamesfox2579]

This is such a wonderful TREAT!💕

[@cathycartee4180]

The interesting thing here is that Lillian Gish is TWENTY years older than Mary Martin.

[@9753Lukas]

Outlived her too.

[@kanani7410]

this is so strange because after seeing her in silent films, i'm shook like WHAT, she can SPEAK?!!?!?

[@bancroftss]

Yes😂

[@stephenannese8228]

Wow,...love listening to Mz.Lillian/and her early Hollywood stories,...FYI= her Godson was James MacArthur (Hawaii 5-O) thru her good friend Helen Hayes,..and...Mary Martin's son was Larry Hagman (JR-Dallas).

Beautiful lady

[@laurencemyers-j6y]

saw LILLIAN GISH in CHEKOV with george c scott nicol williamson julie christie ............wow! Glad IM this old

[@wotan10950]

Wow, they don't make stars like that anymore. I saw a movie with Gish and Bette Davis. It was very good, but I heard that Davis was very crabby toward Gish.

[@CanadianMonarchist]

Apparently Bette Davis made a big deal about getting top billing before Lillian Gish, and the latter lady found this rather silly.

[@brule1961]

I've Bette was very "mean" to Lillian.

[@tuvynaw8556]

Bette was crabby toward everybody

[@beebanina5924]

Joe throgmartin oh I hope thats not true😥

[@angelorinaldi9775]

Lillian could not be intimidated by Bette. She was the #1 female star in the world before Bette started acting in movies.

[@robertasteigerwalt1269]

Believe it runs in the family

[@nadeau1]

How sad that the 80's were so phony. Nobody thought that honesty and sincerity would even be in fashion.

[@AngelandBaji]

Grate content let's stay connected

[@magmasunburst9331]

what kind of eye drops was she talking about at 3:25 Was there a healthy living type eye drop people used to use?

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I would guess it was vitamins, but who knows?

[@humbertoluiz1975]

Please who was the presenter beside Mary Martin?
