Hughes and Ella were divorced in 1929, and over the years he was seen with such beauties as Billie Dove, Lana Turner, Linda Darnell, Ginger Rogers and Ida Lupino. He installed Ava Gardner in a house shortly after she was divorced from Mickey Rooney. Soon after, it became apparent that Hughes was not devoting much attention to her, and Rooney began stopping by. Hughes confronted Ava and slapped her. She retaliated by hitting him over the head with a copper-based ashtray, knocking him cold. He was taken to a hospital, where his agents managed to have the injuries officially...
Outside their own movies, however, even this formidable trio has had little effect; where the game really counts-producing or directing-the female ranks are thin indeed. Lillian Gish directed one film ( Remodeling Her Husband, 1921), and Ida Lupino has half a dozen films to her some-what dubious credit.

...several assaults of whimsy that would shake a saint. In one dreary episode, she is conned into buying scanty costumes for the school band. In another, she sends a shy little nun off to help a pack of screaming girls shop for their first brassières. Director Ida Lupino lets Angels swing lowest when she introduces a lay teacher, clad in passionate purple, whose specialty is "interpretive movement." Gypsy Rose Lee plays the part with all the boop-de-doo phoniness a second-rate show deserves...
