WALLACE FORD
Broadway actor and B movie star signs a black and white photograph of him at a young
age, from the chest up, in a suit and tie
Photograph signed: "Sincerely /Wallace Ford/1941-", B/w 8x10. Wallace Ford (1898-1966,
born in Bolton, Lancashire, England) was an English actor with almost 160 movies and TV
shows to his credit between 1930 and 1965. Ford made his show biz premiere in vaudeville
and music halls at 11; he made his Broadway debut a decade later as Higgins in The Poppy
God (1921). He debuted on the silver screen in 1930 and put bread on the table with
wisecracking lead roles in B-movies, with an occasional foray into critical approval (The
Informer, 1935, and Shadow of a Doubt, 1943). He also appeared on Broadway frequently
during the 1920s, and he created the part of George, the friend of slow-witted Lennie, in
the Broadway adaptation of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men (1937-1938 performing
207 times). Later in his career, he found work in middle-aged character roles, playing wistful
drunks and wise good-for-nothings, ending his career with a powerful performance as Ole Pa
in A Patch fo Blue. Ford was orphaned while still a baby; his search for his parents in the
1930s drew worldwide attention and headlines. B-movie fans may recognize Ford from his
leading role as Phroso in Tom Browning's legendary film Freaks (1932). Overall, fine
condition.
