Quote:
"Nell Shipman has been immortalized in a jut of land called 'Shipman's Point' on upper Priest Lake in Idaho. The reason: the land served as location site for her filming in the teens of this century. Shipman was an early and formidable film figure as writer and star, corporate exec—the whole smear—before most of today's female wonder women were born."
