Maisha ya awali
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Muda mfupi baada ya kuhamia jijini New York, aliolewa na mwigizaji mwingine, David Ford, ingawa ndoa ilivunjika baada ya miezi tisa tu. Baadaye aliolewa na John Meston (Julai 30, 1914 - Machi 24, 1979) mwandishi wa redio na runinga wa Amerika anayejulikana zaidi kwa kuunda ushirikiano (na Norman Macdonnell), kipindi cha redio / Televisheni cha Gunsmoke. Mume wa tatu na wa sasa wa Ford ni Scott Wolkoff (amezaliwa Mei 27, 1947), ambae ni mdogo kwake kwa miongo miwili.[2]
Kazi yake ya awali ya mwanamitindo na uigizaji
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Alizaliwa kama Harriet Elizabeth Dingeldein huko McKeesport, Pennsylvania mnamo 1927, yeye na kaka yake walilelewa na ndugu baada ya kutelekezwa, kwanza na mama yao na baadaye, na baba yao. Baada ya kumaliza shule ya upili mnamo 1945, alianza kazi yake kama mwanamitindo na mwigizaji huko New York, ambapo sifa zake za uanamitindo zilijumuisha stints as the Jantzen Bathing Suit Girl, the Camay Bride, na the Parliament Cigarette Girl,, na sifa zake za uigizaji zilijumuisha kuonekana mara kwa mara kwenye The Jackie Gleason Show na The Jimmy Durante Show.[3] Muda mfupi baada ya kuhamia New York, aliolewa na mwigizaji mwingine, David Ford, ingawa ndoa ilivunjika baada ya miezi tisa.
Kazi ya upiganaji ng'ombe
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Wakati akiwa kwenye upigaji picha za wanamitindo huko Bogotá, Kolombia, Ford alitambulishwa kwa matador mashuhuri Luis Miguel Dominguín na kumtazama akipigana uwanjani. Mapema baadae, Ford aliondoka New York kwenda nchini Mexiko kufundisha kama mpiganaji wa ng'ombe. Mnamo 1954, Warner Bros walifanya rekodi fupi juu ya mafunzo yake, "Beauty and the Bull".[4]
Mechi yake ya kwanza ya kihistoria huko Plaza México ilifuatiwa na miaka kadhaa ya mapigano kama figura (watu mashuhuri wa kupigana na ng'ombe) huko Mexiko na Ufilipino. Studio ya MGM, ambayo ilikuwa imempa mkataba wa kuigiza kabla ya kuondoka New York kuwa mpiganaji wa ng'ombe, ilipanga filamu ya urefu kamili kulingana na hadithi yake ya maisha, na ikatuma waandishi kadhaa, kati yao John Meston, muundaji mwenza wa Gunsmoke , kukutana na Ford na kujadili juu ya skrini. Ford alioa Meston muda mfupi baada ya kukutana na kisha alistaafu kama mpiganaji wa ng'ombe.[5]
