Personal Quote:

Griffith was extraordinarily self-confident and never raised his voice on the set. his manner was easy and unobtrusive... he seemed like a kindly dean of a college, instructing his classes, yet firing them with his own enthusiasm. We were all in awe of him - all except Constance and Dorothy Gish. See more »

Trivia:

In 1927, Norma and her sisters opened the Talmadge Park real estate development in San Diego, California, USA. Now known as the Talmadge district, the development contains streets named for each of the sisters. It is located about one mile southwest of the San Diego State University campus. See more »
