John Ford came to Hollywood following one of his brothers, an actor.
Asked what brought him to Hollywood, he replied "The train". He became
one of the most respected directors in the business, in spite of being
known for his westerns, which were not considered "serious" film. He
won six Oscars, counting (he always did) the two that he won for his
WWII documentary work. He had one wife; a son and daughter; and a
grandson, Dan Ford who wrote a biography on his famous
grandfather.
