I've mistaken Vera Lewis for Lillian Gish!
Am I the only one to think they look similar?

Vera Lewis? looks like Lillian Gish? wow, I've never heared that one before. Vera has white hair and masculine features. She is also very tall. Lil is tiny, with a round face and dark hair. They are at least a generation apart in age. You might have Vera confused with Miriam Cooper, who looks much more like Lillian than Vera does.

I wouldn't exactly call Gish tiny, not even by todays standards. She was 166, and that's above average for women even in this age.

Having said that, Lewis was VERY tall (173 if IMDB is correct)

I had originally thought Gish was playing Brown Eyes.
