Gish starred in the infamous ''Film/{{The Birth of a Nation|1915}}'' and outright refused to acknowledge that the film was racist, staunchly defending her dear friend and mentor D. W. Griffith until the very end. She also worked with Griffith many other times, including a small role in the classic ''Film/{{Intolerance}}'' and main roles in ''Film/BrokenBlossoms'', ''Film/OrphansOfTheStorm'', and perhaps most famously ''Film/WayDownEast'', the climax of which required her to lie still on a very real ice floe for hours on end while her hair and right hand were submerged in below-freezing water. Thanks to the stunt, Gish's hand would be partially impaired for [[DoingItForTheArt the rest of her life]], but she contributed to what is considered one of the most exciting climaxes in cinema history.
