[QUOTE="ginnyfan, post: 234481, member: 174"] I like Ida Lupino, even though she was never one of my favorites. I always knew about her and have seen many of her movies since she was at Warners in 1940s and starred with many of their male stars in well known movies that used to air a lot on TCM Europe. Her big break came in They Drive by Night (1940) and she was paired with Boggie again next year in High Sierra which was another success. She played opposite all the big Warner males including Eddie G Robinson, John Garfield, Errol Flynn etc. She also got some leading roles in women's pictures like The Hard Way (1943) and Devotion (1946). I guess those were the Bette Davis rejects she talked about. After leaving WB, she did a lot of noirs at RKO, including good pairings with Robert Ryan in On Dangerous Ground (1951) and Beware, My Lovely (1952). By this time she was directing as well and was not afraid to tackle controversial topics like rape, bigamy, abortion etc. Her best known work is The Hitch-Hiker (1953) but I also love The Bigamist (1953) with Joan Fontaine and Edmond O'Brien. For me the big recent discovery about her is that she was English. I never got that from her, she seemed so American to me. Maybe it's cause she was at a very urban studio like Warners or the fact she did many noirs which are so quintessentially American.
