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 maledominated 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 shows aimed at male viewers and many featuring allmale casts. 'No one ever asked me to direct a love story,' she said. About the Author Mary Ann Anderson has had a varied and extensive career in the world of show business.

Many Brentwood residents who lived on Old Oak Lane recall the time Miss Lupino set her mailbox on fire.

Mary Ann has been instrumental in bringing the stories of Ida Lupino to A&E's Biography and Jeffrey Hunter to E!'s Mysteries and Scandals, by researching, writing and appearing in them.
