Glen Ford dead at 90

was one of those actors that was good in anything he was in… I especially loved him in with .

Why is it that when some of these great actors die, you feel like you lost a good friend even when you didn’t know them?

Rest in peace, Glenn…

    I spent many a gloomy Sunday afternoon watching westerns on a black and white TV, avoiding doing homework, wishing I lived somewhere exciting doing exciting things, rather than being 11 (or so) living in the Midlands of England - and much of that was thanks to Glenn Ford, truly an icon of my childhood.

    I love him in The Big Heat. The noir to beat all noir.

    Also — thanks for the 36. I’m one of the few who’s read Polti — and I can’t ever figure out a practical application for them, scholarly and accurate tho’ they may be. Here’s a question — your method seems to say that the situations are “scenes”, essentially — reading the book, it feels like they’re overall STORIES…I wonder if they’re like (my own/usc’s) “story types”, where one scene or sequence might be “Revenge” but might occur in a story that is overall, a “Detective” story? From the reading of them, it is.

    …how do you understand them? I know you’re getting a lot of emails on them, sorry to pester. Feel free to email me about it, tho’. I also think there’s room out there for an update of this book, using rememberable movies as examples vs. obscure, 200-year old French Stage Plays…

    And (sorry for long post) —

    – do a little bit on my dvd set on how #33 (variation C, sub-variant 1, I think…Guilt Thrown Upon the Second Victim Against Whom the Author has Plotted from The Start…I paraphrase) is how Joe Ezterhaz got rich — one of the few, perhaps the only one that Polti praises as a good story, remaining neutral everythwhere else…

    Switch in: Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone and Jeannie Tripplehorn for The Mistaken One, The Author of The Mistake and The Victim/Second Victim of the Mistake and you’ll know what I mean…

    Ok. Sorry Again. We’ll miss you, Glenn.
