Anitra Ford began as a model during the sixties, but her heyday was definitely as a “Barker Beauty” on the
Price Is Right from 1972-1976. During this time she appeared in numerous TV shows including
Baretta, Starsky & Hutch, and
Wonder Woman. She also had a small role in
The Longest Yard, and was featured in numerous B movies of the period.
Anitra’s fame dried up by the end of the seventies. She moved on to real estate in Santa Barabara. She is also a published poet…. which seems only natural, because to kids of the 70’s, Anitra was poetry in motion.
I am indebted to the amazing
Bleat blog for reminding me of the lovely Anitra, and posting these incredible pictures to swipe. Also a thanks to
Kevin for pointing me in the right direction.
