    Ford
    (May 1, 1916 – August 30, 2006) was a
    Canadian-American
    actor who often portrayed ordinary men in unusual circumstances. Ford was most prominent during
    Hollywood's Golden Age
    as one of the biggest box-office draws of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, who had a career that lasted more than 50 years. Although he played in many genres of movies, some of his most significant roles were in the
    film noirs
    Gilda
    (1946) and
    The Big Heat
    (1953), and the high school angst film
    Blackboard Jungle
    (1955). However, it was for comedies or westerns which he received acting laurels, including three
    Golden Globe
    Nominations for Best Actor in a Comedy movie, winning for
    Pocketful of Miracles
    (1961). He also played a supporting role as Clark Kent's adoptive father,
    Jonathan Kent
    , in
    Superman
    (1978).
    Five of his films have been selected for the
