We return for a look at the life and work of the great Ida Lupino (1918-1995), a prolific and beloved actress, screenwriter, and director. Born to a family of performers, Lupino was the only woman of her era to claim a director's chair and drafted the blueprint for independent filmmaking in the US, all while maintaining an enviable output. In addition to directing 100+ episodes of television, she helmed seven feature films, many of which shed light on subjects that most studios wouldn't touch, from unwed mothers to polio to rape. As an artist as talented in front of the camera as she was behind it, Lupino enjoyed a productive, albeit tumultuous career that spanned over 40 years. Kisses many.
