Legendary actor Glenn Ford was discovered in 1939 by Tom Moore, a talent scout for 20th Century Fox and then consequently signed a contract with Columbia Pictures the same year. Glenn made his official debut in Heaven with a Barbed Wire Fence (1939) and continued working in various small roles throughout the 1940s until his movie career was interrupted to join the Marines in World War II. During his service, he helped build safe houses in France for those hiding from the Nazis. In 1943, Glenn married legendary tap dancer, Eleanor Powell and had one son, Peter Ford. After the war, Glenn was able to resume his movie career with the help of Bette Davis who gave Glenn his first break in the 1946 movie A Stolen Life (1946). However, it was not until his acclaimed performance in the 1946 classic film noir, Gilda (1946) with Rita Hayworth that Glenn became a star and the most popular actor of his time. Glenn made many notable films during his prestigious 50 year movie career, but he is best known for his fine westerns such as 3:10 to Yuma, The Rounders, Sheepman and many more fine films. In the 1970s, Glenn made his television debut in the controversial Brotherhood of the Bell and appeared in two fondly-remembered television series: Cade's County and The Family Holvak. During the 1980s and 1990s, Glenn limited his appearance to documentaries and occasional films. To this date, Glenn Ford is remembered fondly by his fans for his more than 100 excellent films and his charismatic silver screen presence
