A change of course
While doing a modeling photo shoot in Bogotá, Colombia, Ford met the famous matador Luis Miguel Dominguín and saw him fight in the ring. Not long after, she moved from New York to Mexico to train as a bullfighter.
A role that slipped away
Before Ford left New York to become a bullfighter, MGM had offered her an acting contract. The studio later planned a full-length feature film about her life and sent writers, including John Meston, to talk over a screenplay.
A change of course
After finishing high school in 1945, Ford started out in New York as a model and actress. Her modeling work there included turns as The Jantzen Bathing Suit Girl, The Camay Bride and The Parliament Cigarette Girl.
A first
Ford made a historic debut at the Plaza México. After that, Ford spent several years fighting as a figura, a bullfighting celebrity, in Mexico and the Philippines.
