Vandalism of this article

I am getting a little tired of the anonymous vandal who keeps posting that Glenn Ford died in October -- while playing basketball yet. I am friends with his family and I know full well that Glenn Ford, though doing reasonably well for a guy who is nearly 90, is hardly in any shape to play basketball. Get real. Out of respect for Mr. Ford and his family I am prepared to lock this article to any further edits if the anon. continues to post this fiction. 23skidoo 05:19, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Sadly the reports of his passing are, this time, legitimate. He will be missed. 23skidoo 03:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Tributes

I'm sitting here, watching Glen Ford's starring roll in "3:10 to Yuma" at this very time here in Texas 1:30pm July 12th 2006. I have enjoyed this wonderful man's acting ability for many years.

I agree he was a great actor I loved his brief but important role in Superman as Jonathan Kent and the Blackboard Jungle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.244.74 (talk) 04:39, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Salt and pepper shakers

There's an odd comment in the article about Ford collecting salt and pepper shakers. Can this be confirmed? It doesn't sound too unreasonable but there was some nonsense added to the article about a year ago so it's worth double-check. 23skidoo 05:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

A Google search reveals nothing, though that's not conclusive. Nunquam Dormio 08:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree it's not conclusive one way or the other. It seems such a trivial piece of information to include about a person with such a body of work behind him. Even if it is 100% accurate - it's something to list under "trivia" - not a In the main body of the article. Until it can be substantiated I think it should be removed. So that's what I propose to do. Davidpatrick 17:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

True or not, who cares? I took it out: "During his retirement he concentrated on his interest in collecting salt and pepper shakers." Clarityfiend 19:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
