Elizabeth Ann "Betty" Ford (née Bloomer; April 8, 1918 – July 8, 2011) was First Lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977, as the wife of the 38th President of the United States, Gerald Ford. As First Lady, she was active in social policy and created precedents as a politically active presidential wife.
Throughout her husband's term in office, she maintained high approval ratings despite opposition from some conservative Republicans who objected to her more moderate and liberal positions on social issues. Ford was noted for raising breast cancer awareness following her 1974 mastectomy. In addition, she was a passionate supporter of, and activist for, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Pro-choice on abortion and a leader in the Women's Movement, she gained fame as one of the most candid first ladies in history, commenting on every hot-button issue of the time, including feminism, equal pay, the ERA, sex, drugs, abortion, and gun control. She also raised awareness of addiction when in the 1970s, she announced her long-running battle with alcoholism.

Alter Ego - Betty Ford (Rush Rmx) Lieblings-Track von Alter Ego
President Gerald Ford’s wife, Betty, brought her own stamp to the role of First Lady. Outgoing and warm, she became an instant hit with a public wearied of the corruption and personal drama of the Watergate era. But behind the gracious exterior she hid a secret: an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. Ultimately, she would own up to those personal demons…and triumph over them, setting an example for others. Gena Rowlands portrays Betty Ford, winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her inspirational performance in this tale of Ford’s life as a loving wife and mother to secret substance abuser to founder of the Betty Ford Center, the renowned addiction clinic that remains a monument to her courage.

When Former First Lady Betty Ford opened up about overcoming her addiction to alcohol and prescription pain pills, she became the nation's most prominent recovery champion, setting a powerful precedent for the potency of personal stories in public advocacy. In her 1987 book, Betty: A Glad Awakening, Mrs. Ford wrote, "There is joy in recovery, and in helping others discover that joy. I think God has allowed me - along with thousands of others - to carry a message, a message that says, there's help out there, and you too can be a survivor. Look at us. Look at me." Mrs. Ford's legacy continues to grow today, carried on by the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's Institute for Recovery Advocacy and a new generation of recovering faces and voices galvanized by the groundbreaking film The Anonymous ...
