Sadness. Actor Glenn Ford, whose film and TV career spanned more than fifty years and included The Blackboard Jungle and Jonathan Kent in Superman, has passed away at the age of 90.

Any favorite roles? I loved him in Superman and The Courtship of Eddie's Father, but he was one of those actors who was so good in whatever he did....

I really liked him in "Midway" and "Superman". Just running down the list, I see many of his movies that I liked, but those two stand out for me.

Did you notice that Ma Kent had a photo of Glenn Ford on the mantlepiece in SUPERMAN RETURNS?

Especially remember him from Superman, but it always seemed that he was the kind of guy that if you didn't have a dad (or a good one) you'd want him for a father. I'd like to think he was that good a man in real life, too.
