Ida Lupino

Lupino before performance on the radio series ''[[Cavalcade of America]]'' Ida Lupino (4 February 1918 – 3 August 1995) was a British actress, director, writer, and producer. Throughout her 48-year career, she appeared in 59 films and directed eight, working primarily in the United States, where she became a citizen in 1948. She is widely regarded as the most prominent female filmmaker working in the 1950s during the Hollywood studio system. With her independent production company, she co-wrote and co-produced several social-message films and became the first woman to direct a film noir, ''The Hitch-Hiker,'' in 1953.

Among Lupino's other directed films, the best known are ''Not Wanted'' (1949), about unwed pregnancy (she took over for a sick director and refused directorial credit); ''Never Fear'' (1950), loosely based upon her own experiences battling paralyzing polio; ''Outrage'' (1950), one of the first films about rape; ''The Bigamist'' (1953), and ''The Trouble with Angels'' (1966). Her short yet immensely influential directorial career, tackling themes of women trapped by social conventions, usually under melodramatic or noir coverings, is a pioneering example of proto-feminist filmmaking.

As an actress, Lupino's best known films are ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'' (1939) with Basil Rathbone; ''They Drive by Night'' (1940) with George Raft and Humphrey Bogart; ''High Sierra'' (1941) with Bogart; ''The Sea Wolf'' (1941) with Edward G. Robinson and John Garfield; ''Ladies in Retirement'' (1941) with Louis Hayward; ''Moontide'' (1942) with Jean Gabin; ''The Hard Way'' (1943); ''Deep Valley'' (1947) with Dane Clark; ''Road House'' (1948) with Cornel Wilde and Richard Widmark; ''While the City Sleeps'' (1956) with Dana Andrews and Vincent Price; and ''Junior Bonner'' (1972) with Steve McQueen.

Lupino also directed more than 100 episodes of television shows in a variety of genres, including westerns, supernatural tales, situation comedies, murder mysteries, and gangster stories. She was the only woman to direct an episode of the original ''The Twilight Zone'' series ("The Masks"), and the only director to star in an episode ("The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine").
