Ruth Ford Facts
Her daughter, Shelly, was born to her and her first husband. On February 9, 1953, her second husband filed papers to adopt her. Shelley was adopted later that year, and her name changed from Shelley Van Eyck to Shelley Scott.

She and her husband, Zachary Scott, were arrested for disturbing the peace in New Orleans because they were caught drinking in a tavern in violation of racial segregation laws. They were acquitted when her husband explained that they went there to search for talent and that some black soldiers had invited them to drink with them. He explained that he was proud to drink with any soldier.

Her husband, Zachary Scott, died penniless except for the 100,000 insurance policy that he left her.
