We often hear that Ida Lupino’s appearance in her Warners days and after changed dramatically from her days as a Paramount ingenue in the 1930s. That’s generally true—but in that 1954 photo with Lana Turner at al., Ida looks remarkably like her 1936-self.

Ida Lupino and Louis Hayward share a laugh during the first year of their marriage. The photo was used to promote Hayward’s film “The Man in the Iron Mask” (1939)

October 23, 1959: Twilight Zone's "The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine" airs. A movie queen who pines for the old days finds a unique and supernatural way to rejoin her former co-stars. Stars Ida Lupino, who later directed "The Masks" — the only star to helm a TZ *and* the only woman.

“Ida Takes Over in No-Woman’s Land” — Silver Screen, June 1950 “Hollywood, a man’s town, is said to resent women directors. Ida says she hasn't noticed any resenting. Her colleagues have been pretty respectful, she says. But of course it does help if you happen to be the co-producer … .”

Best Jean Arthur movie? It may be this one: “Too Many Husbands” (1940). Certainly it’s one of my all-time favorite comedies.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Jean Arthur for “The More the Merrier” in Screenland, July 1943 #BOTD

Ginger Rogers and David Niven for “Bachelor Mother” (1939) — one of my all-time favorite comedies.

The Saint in New York (1938). Louis Hayward is a good Saint, softly spoken in a silky Oliver Reed sort of way, very English, but walks with American snap and swagger. He's asked to free New York City from 'the plague of cruel meciless gangsterdom', and he agrees to take it on as a bit of lark
