Born in 1956, Steven Ford was the youngest son of Gerald Ford, President of the United States from 1974 to 1977. By that time he was in college far from the White House, studying ranching at Utah State University. But the acting bug bit, and he started making the rounds.
With or without the cachet of having a famous Dad, he got lots of two-fisted roles in
Escape from New York, The Eleventh Commandment, and
Body Count.
But his blond hair, square jaw, and chiseled physique got Steve more attention as a heartthrob. From 1981 to 1987, he starred on the soap
The Young and the Restless as private detective Andy Richards (right), where he buddy-bonded with fellow p.i. Paul Williams (Doug Davidson, left). The extremely girlish-looking bottom guy is Michael Damian, who played singer Danny Romalotti.
Afterwards Steve hosted the tv series
Secret Service and continued to act, with roles opposite action heroes like Al Pacino in
Heat, Richard Griego in
Against the Law, and Casper Van Dien in
Starship Troopers. Today he spends most of his time on his ranch and giving motivational speeches about alcoholism.
Steve has never married, so he's been the subject of lots of gay rumors.His Mom, former First Lady Betty Ford, was a proponent of gay marriage.
I was alway suspect of Danny!
ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty sus, most of Hollywood at least marries to promote a project.
ReplyDeleteStarship Troopers means we saw him in Heinlein's "future of sexual freedom" showers. (Even when he's being fascist...)
Maybe he still looking for the right woman or right guy?! He was a good looking young guy- the first picture looks like a publicity shot for Falcon video
ReplyDeleteSteven Ford was engaged to be married in 1991 but called off the wedding because of sobriety issues. He does a son with some unknown woman- so maybe he is bisexual?
ReplyDeleteFord had a supporting role in "Star Ship Troupers" not sure if he is the shower scene- his last credit is playing a general in "The Transformers: (2007)
