Ida Lupino
Best Directors of All Time: Ida Lupino
Ida Lupino had a fascinating multi-hyphened career–as an actress, producer and director.
She began as a child actress in the 1930s, continued as leading and characters actress in the 1940s and 1950s.
She co-founded an independent production company, where she wrote, directed and produced her own films-an unheard feat Hollywood of the 1950s (or any era).
Her films tackled taboo subjects and The Hitch-Hiker is regarded as one of the best film noirs.
She ended her decades-long career directing nearly 70 episodes of TV for shows including The Twilight Zone, The Fugitive, and Gilligan’s Island.
