More on Ida Lupino
Description from Wikipedia:
Ida Lupino (4 February –3 August ) was an English film actress, director, and a pioneer among women filmmakers. In her 48 year career, she appeared in 59 films, and directed nine others. She also appeared in episodic television 58 times and directed 50 other episodes. In addition, she contributed as a writer to five films and four TV episodes. ==Acting career==
Born into a family of performers, Lupino was encouraged to enter show-business by both her parents and a first cousin once-removed, Lupino Lane, Lupino made her first film appearance in 1931, in The Love Race, and worked for several years playing minor roles.
It was after her appearance in The Light That Failed in 1939 that Lupino was taken seriously as a dramatic actress. As a result, her parts improved during the 1940s and she began to describe herself as "the poor man's Bette Davis." While working for Warner Brothers, Lupino would refuse parts that Davis also had rejected, and earned herself suspensions.
During this period, Lupino became known for her hard-boiled roles, and appeared in such films as They Drive by Night (1940) and High Sierra (1941), both opposite Humphrey Bogart. She acted regularly and was in high demand throughout the 1940s without becoming a major star.
In 1947, Lupino left Warner Brothers to become a freelance actress. Notable films she appeared in around that time include Road House and On Dangerous Ground.
