I noticed this long time ago,but after watching "Birth of Nation" and "Intolerance" again,it really become obvious that two actresses who never ever met and even lived in completely different times look like twin sisters.
Mae Marsh who played in both Griffith's silent extravaganza masterpieces looks like some ancient silent movie relative of british actress Emily Watson whom I first noticed in "Breaking the Waves" (heavy drama by misogynist director Lars Von Trier). Come to think of it,both D.W.Griffith and Von Trier tortured their actresses on the film screen so there you go,ladies not only look similar but had similar destiny to be remembered as movie victims of their sadistic directors.
Perhaps these photographs don't really do justice to my "twins" claim so I suggest check their movies for yourself and you will see how similar in appearance these ladies are.
