Anyway what started this diatribe was actually this thought: Ida Lupino, who although a beautiful, and talented lady, played some of the lousiest parts I can imagine (by lousiest I mean nasty, and mean, not untalented). I don't think any other actress has put me in the mind of hoping she either dies in the end, or gets some other major comeuppance. After Kirk Douglas getting his in Ace in the Hole, later we watch Ida screwing her sister around for years before she finally gets it, and I loved the sliding door bit in They Drive by Night.
There have been actresses who were female dogs in many movies, but usually only once or twice, but Ida seemed to make a career of it. Looking at a list of her movies, you see how many times she played a rotten egg, but she sure was good at it.
Needless to say, I can't wait for July and Randy.
