They Will go on to the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean for a few weeks of relaxation. "I played Henry Ford from the age of 30 to 80 in Quebec," Robertson says during a break in the "filming of the commercials at Laird Studios in Calver City, "The temperature was 20 below zero with a wind chill factor of 40 below.

I said a few more days of that and I wouldn't need the makeup." The syndicated miniseries, being shown this week, traces Ford's rise from -town tinkerer to automobile tycoon. It is based on the best seller by Robert Lacey. It also stars Hope Lange as his wife, Clara Ford, Heather Thomas as Evangeline, his mistress, R.H. Thomson as Edsel, his tragically neglected son, and Michael Ironside as Harry Bennett, his power-hungry henchman. "Ford was the father of the assembly line," Robertson says.

"He was a genius, a complex, opinionated, eccentric man. He was a populist, who on his own raised the salaries of his factory workers from $2.83 to $5 a day. The Wall Street Journal said the had done something terrible and predicted the workers wouldn't know what to do with all that money. "He was a paradoxical man. He was the first man put blacks into his factory.

That was at a time when the Ku Klux Klan had a lot of power. But he eventually became anti-Semitic. He was a pious Calvinist who kept a mistress for 30 years. He was a and a war profiteer. A populist who turned the unions.

A populist who turned on the unions." Cliff Robertson on Henry Ford automobile. He revolutionized the automotive industry, from his first Model to the Model A and the V-8 engine. "Before the United States became involved in World War a Jewish woman convinced him that a man of his stature could go to Europe and stop the war," Robertson says. "He put up the money for a ship, but she was funneling a lot of the money into her own pocket. He found out about it en route, turned around and came back." "It inflamed his anti-Semitism.

He felt the Jews were out to get him. He wrote anti-Semitic articles for his newspaper. This was a man born during the Civil War. He was brought up in a rural environment. He distrusted Catholics.

He was a man of his times." This is not the first biographical role for Robertson. When he portrayed John F. Kennedy in "PT 109," the president himself advised him how to play the role, telling him to avoid mimicking his Boston accent so as not to sound like a night club comic. He was astronaut Buzz Aldrin in "Return to Earth," Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in "Star 80," and underwater treasure hunter Mel Fisher in "Dreams of Gold." On his return from the Seychelles, he hopes to begin production on the sequel to "Charly," the movie that won him an Academy Award as best actor in 1968. He wrote the story and Oscar-winning writer Sterling Silliphant did the screenplay.
