Jaime Pressly Biography Ida was born in London to a show business family. In 1933, her mother brought Ida with her to an audition and Ida got the part her mother wanted. The picture was _Her First Affaire (1932)_ (qv). Ida, a bleached blonde, came to Hollywood in 1934 and played small and insignificant parts. _Peter Ibbetson (1935)_ (qv) was one of her few noteworthy movies and it was not until _The Light That Failed (1939)_ (qv) that she got a chance to get better parts. In most of her movies, she was cast as the hard, but sympathetic woman from the wrong side of the tracks. In _The Sea Wolf (1941)_ (qv) and _High Sierra (1941)_ (qv), she played the part magnificently. It has been said that no one could do hard-luck dames the way Lupino could do them. She played tough, knowing characters who held their own against some of the biggest leading men of the day - 'Humphrey Bogart' (qv), 'Ronald Colman (I)' (qv), 'John Garfield (I)' (qv) and 'Edward G. Robinson (I)' (qv). She made a handful of films during the forties playing different characters ranging from _Pillow to Post (1945)_ (qv), where she played a traveling saleswoman to the tough nightclub singer in _The Man I Love (1947)_ (qv). But good roles for women were hard to get and there were many young actresses and established stars competing for those roles. She left Warner Brothers in 1947 and became a freelance actress. When better roles did not materialize, Ida stepped behind the camera as a director, writer and producer. Her first directing job came when director 'Elmer Clifton' (qv) fell ill on a script that she co-wrote _Not Wanted (1949)_ (qv). Ida had joked that as an actress, she was the poor man's 'Bette Davis' (qv). Now, she said that as a director, she became the poor man's 'Don Siegel' (qv). The films that she wrote, or directed, or appeared in during the fifties were mostly inexpensive melodramas. She later turned to Television where she directed episodes in shows such as _"The Untouchables" (1959)_ (qv) and _"The Fugitive" (1963)_ (qv). In the seventies, she did guest appearances on various television show and small parts in a few movies.

Jaime Pressly Personal Quotes My agent had told me that he was going to make me the 'Janet Gaynor (I)' (qv) of England - I was going to play all the sweet roles. Whereupon, at the tender age of thirteen, I set upon the path of playing nothing but hookers. I'd love to see more women working as directors and producers. 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. The beautiful thing about Warner Bros. when I was there was, I only worked with great people, actors, directors, producers. But when I left, nobody said goodbye. [To Jack Warner after turning down a four year exclusive contract] I don't want to be told someday that I will be replaced by some starlet as I was told I would replace Bette. [To a method actor] Darling, we have a three day schedule. There's no time to do anything but to do it.
