Her birth surname is Gish. While her grandmother's name is Lillian, she is not the famous silent
film actress Lillian Gish, nor is she related to
Dorothy Gish.
I'm no relation to Lillian Gish or Dorothy Gish. Not even way back. But when I first became interested in acting, I wrote a letter to Lillian Gish. She wrote back, discouraging me from entering the business.
