Anne Kerry Ford is an American cabaret singer and actress. She has appeared on Broadway, major motion pictures and is currently best known for her musical recording career.
A native Texan, Anne began her career by attending The Academy of The Washington Ballet for high school before graduating from The Juilliard School of Drama when she was only twenty years old. She worked extensively in classical theatre (major roles in Shakespeare, Miller, Ionesco and the like...) before making her Broadway debut as Grace Farrell in Annie. This led to an opportunity to sing at the White House Easter party for President Ronald Reagan, and later for Yitzhak Shamir for the fortieth birthday of Israel.
Film work includes playing Dudley Moore's wife in Marshall Brickman's Lovesick, as well as appearing in Clean and Sober, and in Peter Weir's Fearless. She also made numerous appearances on series television.
One of her favorite musical appearances was starring with Amanda McBroom in Harry Chapin, Lies and Legends in Chicago (also recording the cast album of that show). Returning to Broadway to appear in Threepenny Opera with Sting in 1990, she followed that by creating the role of Margaret in the musical Jekyll and Hyde opposite John Cullum.
In 1996, Anne made her debut cabaret appearance at The Gardenia in Hollywood. Her husband, renowned guitarist and four-time Grammy nominee Robben Ford, produced her first solo CD, In the Nest of the Moon, which Josef Woodard of the L.A. Times called, "An impressive debut CD... simply a celebration of the American popular song." Her other recordings, "Something Wonderful" and "Weill" were also critically acclaimed; the latter was recorded with WDR's Big Band in performance at Cologne's Philharmonic Hall, arrangements were by Roger Kellaway. Anne appears in concert halls and cabaret venues across the country, most notably at The John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles and The Cafe Sabarsky in New York City.
