Nell Shipman: Pioneer in Film

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

More than a decade before film stars started flocking to Sun Valley in the 1930s, a young Hollywood actress named Nell Shipman left the silent movie business in California for the remote shores and surrounding mountains of Priest Lake. But unlike the 1930s glitterati, she wasn't seeking a glamorous get-away. She came to Idaho to lead her own independent film company with a cast of actors that included her "zoo" of more than 70 wild animals. To say the least, Nell was a woman with big dreams and the determination to make them happen.
