There's something really sad about b movie actresses from the 80s & 90s. You can see they're struggling to be seen as something more than just babes, but the world wouldn't allow them to be something more. I am a journalist from Eastern Europe, I'm writing about films, esp. about cult movies & b flicks. I would love to talk to you some more.

I never learned enough about her to understand what was going on in her head, but I can imagine her trying on new identities. "Magdalena Cristo" -- quite a name!

She had a natural beauty and above average acting skills. <br /><br />I was shocked when I looked her up on the internet about a decade ago to see what she was up to since I haven't seen her in any movies in awhile. She was unrecognizable in the then recent pictures I found. <br /><br />I then read that she was trying to distance herself from her B-Movie and often nude past to be in more "legit" movies. I couldn't help thinking that she changed her appearance so drastically to not be recognized as "that" Maria Ford. It would appear that at one point she really did try to start anew as I found some head shots which were labeled her as "Magdalena Cristo". However I couldn't find anything she did under that name and she went back to using her "regular" name fairly quickly it would seem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-57725888034075599152012-03-24T17:27:21.070-07:002012-03-24T17:27:21.070-07:00She was very pleasant to see around the Concorde-N...She was very pleasant to see around the Concorde-New Horizons office too. When I think of her in person, she's blonde, wearing bobby sox, and handing out homemade cupcakes. She also, as I recall, dotted her i's with little hearts. (I may have made that up, but I think not.) Not exactly her screen image.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-8830094256759074032012-03-23T21:12:32.397-07:002012-03-23T21:12:32.397-07:00She seemed to be in every direct to video movie ma...She seemed to be in every direct to video movie made for a year or two there in the mid-90's. I liked seeing her in the movies - she had presence and looked terrific. <br /><br />I hope to get to visit the Santa Monica pier one day.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-3787965790303453612011-12-12T15:48:31.962-08:002011-12-12T15:48:31.962-08:00BTW - fun article about Paul Newman here: http://t...BTW - fun article about Paul Newman here: http://thehairpin.com/2011/11/scandals-of-classic-hollywood-paul-newman-decency-manifestHilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745796592284210732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-13803486288066518222011-12-01T18:27:58.849-08:002011-12-01T18:27:58.849-08:00I saw her in a television show a few years ago and...I saw her in a television show a few years ago and can't for the life of me remember what it was, but I do recall her plastic surgery being very noticeable. It may have been an erotic show on cable or something. I forget. It's been several years ago.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-50090910977861406182011-12-01T18:04:17.950-08:002011-12-01T18:04:17.950-08:00You know, I don't know where Maria is.

I last glimpsed her on-screen in Odette Springer's controversial documentary, Some Nudity Required. The word is that she's since had breast implants and all sorts of other cosmetic surgery. There was always something fragile about Maria, and I wish her the best. One day I should tell the story about her role in the 1990s remake of Masque of the Red Death.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-1010320089703182382011-12-01T17:59:26.730-08:002011-12-01T17:59:26.730-08:00I had a brief daydream quality crush on Ford in th...I had a brief daydream quality crush on Ford in the 90s. She did seem to have a quality about her that was lacking in other scream queens/exploitation starlets. If I am remembering right, she did some movies with Don Wilson. FUTURE KICK, RING OF FIRE and its WARRIORS styled sequel, RING OF FIRE 2 I think were three of them. Where is she now, exactly?venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.com
