A woman in show business isn't honest with herself... so how can she be honest with another woman? We are, all of us, acting every minute of the day and night.
From Ida Lupino
'The Sea Wolf' is the story of a man who believes only in brute force. He is so firm in belief in his own ideas that he despises all who disagree with him. He preaches the doctrine of intolerance. He flaunts the notion that democracy is anything but weakness.
I'd love to see more women working as directors and producers.
Any woman who wishes to smash into the world of men isn't very feminine.
I didn't see myself as any advance guard, or feminist.
I had no desire to crash a man's world.
I knew it would break his heart if I didn't go into the business.
Keeping a feminine approach is vital - men hate bossy females.
Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation.
Today it's almost impossible to do it unless you are an actress or writer with power... I wouldn't hesitate right this minute to hire a talented woman if the subject matter were right.
