FactIn 1951, RKO Radio Pictures attempted to compose a film-noir, to be entitled "The Sins of Sarah Ferry." The story was to be about a Binghamton, New York courthouse clerk, who finds herself falling in love with a beautiful liar who is accused of armed robbery as well as a hit and run charge involving a death. The cast was to have included Laraine Day, Fred MacMurray, Yvonne De Carlo, Hugh Beaumont, Glenn Ford, Howard Duff, and Evelyn Keyes, with the studio wanting to shoot on location in Binghamton and neighboring Johnson City. The project never materialized because the plot was considered too much of a generic step-up of Double Indemnity (1944), plus the studio never received a reply via phone or standard mail, from the Binghamton Courthouse, or from then Mayor Donald Kramer, granting permission to film on location in the area, and to negotiate a fair range of payment. Based on that neglect, the studio canceled the project and moved on.
PaymentsEarned $150,000 from The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1962)


Glenn Ford (May 1, 1916 – August 30, 2006) was a Canadian-born American actor from Hollywood’s Golden Era with a career that spanned more than 50 years. After moving to Los Angeles in 1939, Ford quickly established himself as a leading man in the film industry, appearing in such classics as The Grapes of Wrath (1940), How Green Was My Valley (1941), and The Quiet Man (1952). He also starred in a number of popular Westerns, including 3:10 to Yuma (1957) and Cimarron (1960).

Born Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford in Sainte-Christine-d’Auvergne, Quebec, Canada, he was the son of Hannah Wood (née Mitchell) and Newton Ford, a railroad conductor. His father died in 1920, and his mother remarried, to William H. Broderick, with whom she had a daughter named Dorothy. Ford’s family moved to Santa Monica, California when he was eight years old. He became a naturalized US citizen in 1942.

Ford began his acting career in bit parts and as an extra in the early 1930s. He first gained attention for his work in the film version of Maxwell Anderson’s play The Lost Weekend (1945). He continued to work steadily in both film and television throughout the 1950s and 1960s, appearing in such popular films as The Blackboard Jungle (1955), The Courtship of Eddie’s Father (1963), and The Long Hot Summer (1965).

In the 1970s, Ford’s career began to slow down, but he found renewed success on television, starring in the CBS sitcom The Glenn Ford Show (1976-1977). He also appeared in a number of made-for-TV movies and miniseries during this time. His last film appearance was in the 1984 comedy City Heat, co-starring Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds.

Ford married actress Eleanor Powell in 1943; the couple had one son, Peter. They divorced in 1959. Ford’s second marriage, to Kathryn Hays, lasted from 1964 until their divorce in 1977. He was married to Cynthia Hayward from 1977 until his death in 2006; the couple had two children.

Glenn Ford died of pneumonia at the age of 90 on August 30, 2006, at his home in Beverly Hills, California. He was survived by his wife, Cynthia Hayward, and his four children.

Quotes

#Quote
1I wish I were up and around, but I'm doing the best that I can. There's so much I have to be grateful for. (1 May 2006)
2Asked how he wished to be remembered: He did his best and he believed in God.
3Americans playing Shakespeare are really ridiculous.
4Hell, no actor is going to tell Frank Capra how to make a picture. He has forgotten more about movie-making than most directors ever know.
5Some actors count their lines as soon as they receive a script. I'm the opposite. I try to see how many lines I can whittle down...You can say just as much in 4 as you can in 14.
6When I see films that go on and on with dialogue, I feel like telling the actors, "Be quiet! Let the audience do some of the work!" (from a 1975 interview with Bob Thomas, Canadian Press)
7I'm out of place doing sophistication. I'm so uncomfortable in a tuxedo.
8[In westerns] you don't have to speak English to understand what's going on. I've always said the talking pictures talk too much anyway.
9Ronald Reagan was a true friend and an American Patriot. We are proud of him and his service to the country. We need men like him today.
10"Never give up. Take what life throws at you and throw it right back. If life keeps throwing then you have a tennis match going. Learn to like tennis." (2002)
11"Let's never forget that to remain free we must always be strong. That's an important lesson I learned in my Navy career in World War II. National defense must be the top priority for our country. If you are strong, you are safe. Now is the time for every American to be proud. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. If we are not brave, we will not be free." (2004)
12If they tried to rush me, I'd always say I've only got one other speed, and it's slower.
13I've never played anyone but myself on screen.
14The Western is a man's world and I love it.
15People laugh when I say I'm not an actor, but I'm not, I play myself.
16When I'm on camera, I have to do things pretty much the way I do things in everyday life. It gives the audience someone real to identify with.

19During his salad days, he worked in a Santa Monica bar as a barkeep for $5 a week.

24His ancestry included English, Scottish, Irish, and Dutch. He had some family roots in the English town of Horwich, near Bolton, Lancashire.
25Ford had been scheduled to make his first public appearance in fifteen years at a 90th birthday tribute gala in his honor hosted by the American Cinematheque at Grauman's Eqyptian Theatre in Hollywood on 1 May 2006, but he was unable to attend. He had suffered a series of minor strokes since his retirement, and was consequently very frail.

However, Peter Breck of "The Big Valley" has been credited by Wild Western Magazine as being able to draw and fire in .16 seconds.
34Often during his career Ford insisted on being shot looking to camera left - he had been kicked in the right side of his jaw by a horse and insisted the left side of his face was his only filmable side.
35Voted the number one box office attraction for 1958 by the National Association of Theatre Owners.
36Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in 1978.
