Victoria Forde (April 21, 1896 – July 24, 1964) was an
American silent film actress.
Born in New York City, Victoria Forde was the daughter of
Broadway actress Eugenie Forde who got her into films with Biograph at age 14.
In 1912, at age 16, she signed with Nestor Studios to make comedy films under
director Al Christie. That same year, her mother made her film debut, appearing
with her daughter in A Pair of Jacks (1912). During Forde's 5-year stay with
Nestor, Al Christie would direct her in one hundred and sixteen short films.
Forde joined Selig Studios and became a star of Western
films, frequently performing opposite cowboy actor Tom Mix. A personal relationship
developed between her and Mix and, in 1917, the two signed with the Fox Film
Corporation where they continued to perform together. She became his fourth
wife in 1918; the following year, after having performed in one hundred and
seventy six film shorts, she gave up her film career to stay at home with their
daughter, Thomasina. The marriage ended in divorce in 1931.
Victoria Forde died in Beverly Hills on July 24, 1964.
