# Glenn Ford

> He played ordinary men caught in circumstances that weren't - a mechanic opposite Rita Hayworth in Gilda, a cop bent on revenge in The Big Heat, a teacher facing down teenage fury in Blackboard Jungle. For three decades Glenn Ford was one of Hollywood's steadiest draws, the kind of leading man who made quiet decency look harder than heroism.
