American actress Faith Ford recently made an appearance on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” and shared some interesting tidbits about her life and career. The audience erupted into applause as Ford took the stage, highlighting her impressive accomplishment of earning five Emmy nominations for her role on the beloved sitcom “Murphy Brown”.
Currently starring in the ABC sitcom “Hope and Faith”, Ford’s charm and wit were on full display during her chat with Ellen. The conversation took a lighthearted turn when the topic of conversation shifted to an unexpected gift – an elephant. Ford admitted that she had never seen an elephant before and was delighted by the unique present.
As the conversation continued, Ellen gently teased Ford about her supposed love for online shopping. Ford confessed that she actually never shops online and prefers more traditional methods of communication like writing notes and using pen and paper. The actress humorously expressed her skepticism about the reliance on computers and the potential chaos that would ensue if they were to suddenly stop working.
The talk show host then turned the conversation to Ford’s most recent birthday milestone. Proudly proclaiming herself to be “40 and fabulous”, Ford expressed her delight in reaching this age and defying societal expectations of looking younger. She humorously recalled how people would always compliment her on her appearance now that she’s 40, while disregarding her beauty when she was in her late thirties. The actress shared her perspective that age is just a state of mind and that she doesn’t worry about getting older.
Switching gears, Ford delved into her passion for organization. She showcased her penchant for being prepared by presenting her meticulously organized medical kit, which she carries in her purse at all times. Ford’s organizational skills also extend to her laundry closet, where she has created a system using mini chalkboards and baskets with name tags, allowing her to easily switch out items depending on her needs.
Towards the end of the segment, Ford talked about her cookbook, “Classic and Healthy Southern Recipes”. Although some may argue that healthy and Southern are oxymorons, Ford has managed to create delicious and nutritious versions of beloved Southern dishes. From oven-fried catfish to pecan-crusted chicken, Ford’s cookbook is a testament to her culinary creativity.
With her infectious personality and talent, Faith Ford continues to captivate audiences on both the big and small screens. Fans can catch her in her current sitcom “Hope and Faith”, which airs on ABC on Fridays at 9 o’clock. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll see this talented actress receive an Oscar nomination.
