Ida Lupino
No. 30 in a series of 50 from Players Navy Cut Cigarettes
Born in London in 1916, Ida Lupino represents the youngest generation of the famous family of clowns, for her father is Stanley Lupino. Although she studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, she had no stage experience before making her film debut in a crowd scene in The Love Race. After a big part in Her First Affaire, other leading roles in British films followed. Then came a Hollywood contract, and she sailed for America in August, 1933. Following Search for Beauty and Come On, Marines, a severe illness kept her off the screen for several weeks, but she has returned in Ready for Love.
