CHILLING SCENE

BRAVING SUB-ZERO, BLIZZARD conditions, Lillian Gish enacted the most famous scene of the 1920 movie "Way Down East": Gish unconscious on the ice at the confluence of the White and Connecticut Rivers. The crew (which lost several members to pneumonia) filmed Gish on the ice floe, hair and hand dragging in the water. She spent hours on the ice until the scene was perfect. Ever since, her hand throbbed in cold weather.
