[Updated: July 1, 1955 — Ida Lupino and Franchot Tone comprise the entire case of "Award," the powerful tale of a Hollywood actress who has to prove herself capable of sincere emotion before a Broadway director will hire her for a coveted stage role, to be presented on "Bristol-Myers Four Star Playhouse."]

    I really do love Ida Lupino, but every time I see her I can only think of Fred Sanford. Every movie he ever watched on the late show (which he would always describe to Lamont) featured that fabulous actress Ida “Lupini” – and that’s how I always want to pronounce her name.
    I need therapy 😀

    I thought if they posted your guess that meant you guessed wrong. But that is certainly Franchot Tone. And a great woman director, Ida Lupino!

    Tone looks REALLY good here, considering how he looked in previous pictures from earlier in the 1950s. And Ida always had the best hair.
