Victoria Forde was born in New York City on April 21, 1896. The city in
which she came into the world was the entertainment capital of the
world at that time. Broadway and the fledgling film industry were
located there. Victoria gravitated toward that entertainment field. She
was just 16 years old when she appeared in her first silent motion
picture called
Sheridan's Ride (1913) in 1913.
Two other that year quickly followed,
Pedro's Dilemma (1912) and
His Only Son (1912). Although she
was a good actress, there were so many competitors for parts, Victoria
made relatively few movies. She had met Tom Mix
on the set of one of the Westerns the two appeared in. They married in
1918. After filming
Western Blood (1918) that same
year, Victoria retired from films to a life of domesticity. She died on
July 24, 1964, in Beverly Hills, California. She was 68 years old.
