Descended from a long line of performers, Ida Lupino made her
mark on Hollywood as an actor, screenwriter, and director. In
the '30s and '40s, she established herself as a performer who
specialized in playing tough women--most notably opposite Humphrey
Bogart in High Sierra--but she was always more comfortable behind
the camera. In the '50s, as the only woman director working in
Hollywood, she produced and directed a series of movies that are
remarkable for their gritty realism, expert pacing, and social
conscience. Her career as a director was brief--only seven films--but
each is a gem, and a testament to the many talents of one of cinema's
most fascinating artists.
