FORD JOHN: (1894-1973) Irish-American Film Director, Academy Award winner. D.S., John Ford, one page
FORD JOHN: (1894-1973) Irish-American Film Director, Academy Award winner. D.S., John Ford, one page, oblong 8vo, n.p. (California), 29th January 1949. The partially printed document, completed almost entirely in Ford's hand, is an Employee's Personnel Statement in which he provides details of his address in Hollywood, his occupation ('M. P. Director'), his marital status, gender and place and date of birth (incorrectly given as 1st February 1895) etc. Signed at the foot. Ford's Social Security account number is entered in pencil in an unidentified hand. Very slightly irregularly trimmed to the upper edge and with some minor, light age wear and a small tear to the left edge, about VG
Contrary to the date on the present document, Ford was in fact born on 1st February 1894 although he occasionally altered it to 1895 and that date is erroneously inscribed on his tombstone.
