Biography
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 five-year stay with Nestor, Al Christie would direct her in one hundred and sixteen short films.[citation needed]
Forde joined Selig Studios and became a star of Western films, frequently performing opposite cowboy actor Tom Mix. A personal relationship developed between them and, in 1917, she and Mix 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 176 film shorts, she gave up her film career to stay at home with their daughter, Thomasina. The marriage ended in divorce in 1931.

Forde died in Beverly Hills on July 24, 1964. Being of the Catholic faith[citation needed] she was interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.
