Glenn Ford — star of such 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. This biography by his son Peter Ford 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.
