Actresses Who Direct: Barbra Streisand and Ida Lupino

In this video I talk about two actresses who became directors: Ida Lupino and Barbra Streisand. I’ll explore how they became directors as well as the gendered experiences that affected both their leadership styles on-set and the ways in which their work was received.
