 False eyelashes were invented by the American film
director D.W. Griffith while he was making his 1916 epic,
"Intolerance". Griffith wanted actress Seena Owen to have lashes that
brushed her cheeks, to make her eyes shine larger than life. A wigmaker
wove human hair through fine gauze, which was then gummed to Owen's
eyelids. "Intolerance" was critically acclaimed but flopped
financially.
