Ida Lupino: actor, writer, producer, director, all-around noir bad ass.
Check out my essay Ida Lupino: Noir's Indispensable Dame over at Criminal Element. Not only was Ida one of noir's great leading ladies, she was also one of the rare performers (male or female) to exert as much power behind the scenes as she did in front of the camera.
Ida had brains. Directed some of best TV episodes in history
