Having lived through the Ford administration, with so many things he was known for, it's funny that what I remember most about Gerald Ford was the scene in the movie Beverly Hills Cop II.
The three detectives are in a strip club, and Eddie Murphy lets it be known that the older cop is Gerald Ford ("But don't tell anybody, he's just here to have a good time.")
Of course, soon everybody in the place "knows", and they give the older cop a standing ovation.
I suspect that when president Ford heard about or saw that scene, he probably got a good laugh.
