PEOPLE Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford • AMERICA’S GREATEST MOVIE HERO
The Greatest American Hero • HARRISON FORD CREATES MOVIE CHARACTERS THAT FEEL RIGHT OUT OF ANOTHER ERA. LUCKY FOR US, HE BELONGS TO THIS ONE
His Life Offscreen • NO OTHER STAR HAS CREATED AS MANY ENDURING MOVIE HEROES. HERE, AN ALBUM OF BEHIND-THE-SCENES SNAPS AND OFF-DUTY MOMENTS CAPTURED ALONG THAT JOURNEY
Harrison Before Han • THE SON OF TWO FORMER ACTORS, FORD CAME TO HOLLYWOOD WITH A BACKUP PLAN TO BE A CARPENTER. HE DIDN’T NEED IT FOR LONG
The Solo Artist • WHILE THE STAR WARS SMUGGLER PUT HARRISON FORD ON THE A-LIST, HE NEVER EXPECTED THE ROLE TO BE AN ALTER EGO OR A LIFELONG PURSUIT. BUT HAN SOLO WAS A FORCE GREATER THAN HE KNEW
The Blade Runner Conundrum • TWO TAKES ON A SCI-FI PUZZLE, 35 YEARS APART
Indy Rides Again • HAVING PLAYED THE BELOVED ARCHAEOLOGIST THROUGH FOUR DECADES, HARRISON FORD IS TAKING INDIANA JONES WHERE NO ADVENTURE HERO HAS GONE BEFORE: INTO HIS 80s
The Dramatic Roles • IN HIS MANY MOVIES OUTSIDE THE BLOCKBUSTER FRANCHISES, FORD SHOWED RANGE AS AN ACTOR, FAVORING PROJECTS WITH PRESTIGE DIRECTORS AND COMPELLING STORIES OVER STAR VEHICLES
The Rom-Coms • PUTTING DOWN HIS BLASTER AND WHIP, FORD SLAYED WITH GRUFF CHARM AND DRY WIT. OF COURSE, HE HAD BEEN APPEALING AND FUNNY ALL ALONG
How Did You Get That Scar? • MORE THAN ONCE THE MARK ON FORD’S CHIN HAS BEEN WRITTEN INTO MOVIE PLOTS AND HIS CHARACTERS’ BACKSTORIES
A Man of Action • AS AN ESCAPED PRISONER OR THE U.S. PRESIDENT, HARRISON FORD BRINGS AN ASSURED ELEGANCE TO HIS MOST HIGH-OCTANE ROLES—AND OFTEN DOES HIS OWN STUNTS
Full Circle • JOINING THE SMALL-SCREEN STREAMERS 1923 AND SHRINKING WAS LIKE A HOMECOMING FOR THE ACTOR, WHO GOT HIS EARLIEST BREAKS IN TELEVISION
