Glenn Ford

Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford (1 Mei 1916 – 30 Agustus 2006), dikenal sebagai Glenn Ford, adalah seorang aktor Amerika kelahiran Kanada. Ia paling menonjol selama Zaman Keemasan Hollywood sebagai salah satu aktor dengan pendapatan box office terbesar pada tahun 1940-an, 1950-an, dan 1960-an, dan memiliki karier yang bertahan lebih dari 50 tahun.

Ford sering memerankan pria biasa dalam situasi yang tidak biasa. Meskipun ia membintangi berbagai genre film, beberapa perannya yang paling signifikan adalah dalam film noir Gilda (1946) dan The Big Heat (1953), dan drama sekolah menengah Blackboard Jungle (1955). Atas film komedi dan film koboi, ia menerima penghargaan akting, termasuk tiga nominasi Golden Globe Award untuk Aktor Terbaik – Film Musikal atau Komedi, menang atas Pocketful of Miracles (1961). Dia juga memainkan peran pendukung sebagai alter ego Superman yang santun, ayah angkat Clark Kent yang seorang petani, Jonathan Kent, dalam film pertama dari seri waralaba Superman (1978).

Lima filmnya telah dipilih untuk National Film Registry oleh Library of Congress sebagai sesuatu yang “bermakna secara budaya, sejarah, atau estetika”: Gilda (1946), The Big Heat (1953), Blackboard Jungle (1955), 3:10 to Yuma (1957), dan Superman (1978).
