R148 These excerpts are from another Hollywood book, it appears to come from various sources, it mentions Debbie Reynolds, Eva Gabor, Bette, Joan, Rita and Linda Christian.
“The picture Debbie made with Glenn Ford was aptly named It Started With a Kiss. “The first time Glenn kissed me off screen—yes, with tongue—I fell madly in love with him, even though I didn’t want to. He was the sweetest-smelling man I’d ever met. To put it bluntly, he was good enough to eat. God, I’m getting vulgar.”
Ford’s long-time lover Liz Renay once confided to a friend that he had “the sweetest tasting cum.” Said Liz, “I got to know every inch of his big dick. He inserted it into every orifice I had or between my breasts.” He was a hard driving pounder. He left me screaming at orgasm time.” Even though she fell madly in love with him—and agreed to “perform every sex act imaginable”—he eventually dumped her.
In the 1940s, Ford had been one of Debbie’s favorite leading men, and now, she could turn over in bed and look directly into his handsome face. He was the ideal leading man both in weepies and in romances, and he brought a genial and relaxed sincerity to the screen. In the words of one critic, “Glenn Ford can be a brooding menace, heroic, taciturn, wise, foolish, amiable, dull, or sardonic.”

At the time that Debbie first worked with him, and he romanced her, he was at the peak of his career, appearing at number one on Quigley’s List of Top Ten Box Office Champions.
As Ford later confided to his best friend, William Holden, and others of his cronies, “Debbie couldn’t get enough of me. She told me she didn’t know a woman could have an orgasm until I gave her her first. Ford told his longtime friend and director, George Marshall, “I fell in love with Debbie and asked her to marry me, but she’s holding me off on wedded bliss. She wants the bliss without the wedding. I don’t think she really loves me. This is a bit vain to say, but I think she’s in our relationship just for the sex, and she’s getting plenty of that.”
As Marshall knew so well, many stars had had sex with Ford without wanting marriage. Such was the case with Joan Crawford and Rita Hayworth, who had sustained an affair with Ford for years, ever since they’d co-starred together in Gilda (1946). Barbara Stanwyck had had an affair with Ford, and so had Margaret Sullavan when they had co-starred together in So Ends Our Night (1941).
These women had called him back time and time again for repeats, all except Marilyn Monroe with whom he’d had only a brief fling. Starlet Linda Christian had praised his sexual prowess, claiming he was far better than her husband, Tyrone Power.
When he’d made A Stolen Life (1946) with Bette Davis, she had come on to him, but he had rejected her. Forever after she’d referred to him as “that shithead.”
Eva Gabor said, “Glenn was one of my greatest lovers,”. “He had this wonderful masculine aroma that was intoxicating. When he got up to leave for work, I longed for him to stay in bed with me all day.” “He was very free with his magnificent body, allowing me to roam at will, exploring each nook and cranny. He was also a great kisser.” Shortly after her first night with Ford, Eva told Walters, “Glenn is the first man I’ve met who could help me get over Ty Power.”
“One night in Palm Springs, I was so turned on by him, I wanted it four times over a twenty-four hour period. We were in this rented villa, lying around the pool nude. The more I saw that magnificent Canadian stud, the more I wanted him.”
