Note that director/producer Lois Weber was the first woman ever to direct a feature-length film (in 1914). She had been an actress beginning in 1908, and by 1916, she had become Universal Studios' highest paid director, and she had an assistant director named John Ford! She is completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs, which is very sad, because she is an extremely important person in the history of movie-making!
