Ruth Ford (July 7, 1911, Brookhaven, Mississippi〔〕 – August 12, 2009, New York City) was an American model and stage and film actress. Her brother was the bohemian surrealist Charles Henri Ford. Their parents managed the Tennessee Hotel in Clarksville, Tennessee. ==Life and career== As a model she posed for ''Harper's'', ''Town and Country'' and ''Mademoiselle''. She married actor Peter Van Eyck in the 1940s, but the marriage was unsuccessful. Van Eyck was the father of her daughter, Shelley, who was born in 1941. Prior to Ford's trip west to Hollywood she was a member of Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre, and appeared in his film ''Too Much Johnson'' (1938), which was considered lost until the rediscovery of footage in 2013. Welles' assistance helped her to land contracts with Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros. studios. She starred in the 1976 Broadway play ''Poor Murderer''. Ford married film star Zachary Scott and they remained together until Scott's death in 1965. Scott adopted Shelley, who took the name Shelley Scott. Zachary Scott reportedly died penniless except for a $100,000 insurance policy he left for his widow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruth Ford (actress)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
