Glenn Ford--star of such now-classic films as "Gilda," "Blackboard
Jungle," "The Big Heat," "3:10 to Yuma," and "The Rounders"--had
rugged good looks, a long and successful career, and a glamorous
Hollywood life. Yet the man who could be accessible and charming on
screen retreated to a deeply private world he created behind closed
doors.
"Glenn Ford: A Life" chronicles the volatile life, relationships,
and career of the renowned actor, beginning with his move from
Canada to California and his initial discovery of theater. It
follows Ford's career in diverse media--from film to television to
radio--and shows how Ford shifted effortlessly between genres,
playing major roles in dramas, noir, westerns, and romances.
This biography by Glenn Ford's son, Peter Ford, offers an intimate
view of a star's private and public life. Included are exclusive
interviews with family, friends, and professional associates, and
snippets from the Ford family collection of diaries, letters,
audiotapes, unpublished interviews, and rare candid photos. This
biography tells a cautionary tale of Glenn Ford's relentless
infidelities and long, slow fade-out, but it also embraces his
talent-driven career. The result is an authentic Hollywood story
that isn't afraid to reveal the truth.
