Faith Ford's captivating beauty, coupled with her quick wit and impressive comedic talent, earned her an impressive five Emmy nominations and two consecutive Golden Globe Award nominations for her remarkable ten-year portrayal of the charming reporter Corky Sherwood on the beloved CBS series "Murphy Brown". Prior to her iconic role on "Murphy Brown", Ford made a memorable appearance as the lovable yet clumsy secretary Janine on the popular ABC series "Thirtysomething". Her impressive range of roles continued with her starring turn in the ABC hit comedy series "Hope & Faith" alongside Kelly Ripa, where she shone for three seasons, followed by her co-starring role opposite Fred Goss and Jerry O'Connell in the ABC comedy series "Carpoolers". Ford's impressive guest-starring credits include appearances on "My Name is Earl", "Criminal Minds", "The Middle", and many more. She has also co-starred alongside Vin Diesel in Touchstone Pictures' "The Pacifier" and "Prom", and has had starring roles in several TV movies, including ABC Family's "Mom's on Strike", NBC/Walmart's "Field of Vision", Hallmark movies "A Kiss at Midnight", "Trading Christmas", and "The Bridge 1 and 2", as well as Lifetime movies "Sorority Wars" and "Christmas in Mississippi". In addition to her acting career, Ford made her writing debut in 2004 with the exciting cookbook "Cooking With Faith", co-written with Melissa Clark, which draws on her childhood in Louisiana, where she learned the art of down-home cooking from her grandmother and mother. The cookbook features traditional family recipes alongside updated healthier versions, all infused with Ford's charming anecdotes of good old Southern hospitality.
