IDA LUPINO DIRECTS Did you ever stop to wonder how you would react
if you picked up a hitch-hiker along the highway and a few moments
later found yourself staring into the barrel of his gun? Well, Ida
Lupino did... "I kept the victims faceless to enhance fear that the
next murder victim could be anybody - even the film viewer watching
the film or the person sitting next to them..." - Ida Lupino
Ida Lupino did not want to be an actress; composing and writing
were her major interests. Ida branched out into film directing and
producing in 1949, becoming one of two women to enter the
male-dominated field. While her feature films were primarily aimed
at female audiences, on television Ida Lupino quickly became known
for her skill at directing westerns, mysteries and detective dramas

for Ida Lupino, the actress and director, from 1984 to 1995. Many

lawn and the neighbors - not the neighbors' lawns, but the
neighbors Through her association with Miss Lupino, Mary Ann met
many other legends of "Old Hollywood," such as Olivia de Havilland,
