#14: Ida Lupino
By Kathryn O’Kane
Ida Lupino was an English-born American film and television actress, director, and screenwriter who first gained fame through her portrayals of strong, worldly-wise characters and went on to become one of the first women to direct films in Hollywood. This award was honored to Ida Lupino posthumously, following her passing in 1995.
“I study and work hard. I take a script and mull over it and underline the bits I want to emphasize. When I go on the set, I know exactly what I want to do and how I want to do it.” – Ida Lupino
