Yet another silent star holding a pet. It must have been all the rage to take photos with cute little animals!!! This time it's Lillian with a kitty cat.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

It is a nice one. Although the cat looks a lot more comfortable than Mabel. :)

In this one Mabel looks more comfortable than the cat.

I am watching Antiques Roadshow, and learned about the Fortuny Delphos dress. I decided to find out if there were any pictures of silent actresses wearing it. I came up with Lillian Gish wearing one! It doesn't really show the loveliness of the dress very well, so I'll include a photo of one.
