Book Reviews of Ida Lupino: A Biography
Book Review: Ida Lupino A Woman of Many Faces
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been a fan of Ida Lupino's eversince I was a teenager and saw her in High Sierra. Ida Lupino was a golden girl of the Warner Brothers lot in the 1940's. Having come from a family of entertainers, Lupino worked hard to get where she got, whilst yearning to do more. This more came in the form of movie directing. Lupino's talents, I believe, are overlooked nowadays, given that she was one of the first female movie directors to come out of Hollwood, paving the way for other female directors to surface in later years. Donati's book offers a good insight into the career of Ida Lupino (the actress and the filmaker). The writer also provides an adequate insight into Ida Lupino the person and the neurosis that motivated her for so many years. It surprises me that there are not more writings dedicated to the career of Ida Lupino. It seems these days that very few people know who she is, let alone what she managed to achieve in an industry that was very much ruled by men. Donati has given us a book that is easy to read. A recommended read for all film buffs!
