Harrison Ford Adjusted World Wide Box Office Grosses
Possibly Interesting Facts About Harrison Ford.
1. Harrison Ford was born on July 13th 1942 in Chicago, Illinois. He arrived in Hollywood in 1964 and signed a contract with Columbia Pictures that paid him $150 a week.
2. Harrison Ford first 12 years of making movies were filled with many uncredited parts and small quickly forgotten speaking parts. The highlight during this time frame would be his small roles in 1973’s American Graffiti and 1974’s The Conversation…both were nominated for Oscars® for Best Picture but neither movie really helped his career.
3. By 1976, Ford turned towards his carpentry skills to support his family. He was hired by George Lucas to build some cabinets for the Lucas house. Ford was building the cabinets at the same time Lucas was trying to cast actors for his latest movie. One thing lead to another and Ford found himself with a starring role in a little film called Star Wars.
4. Harrison Ford has been married three times in his life. He has two sons from his first marriage to Mary Marquard, he has a son and a daughter from his second marriage to Melissa Matheson and is currently married to actress Calista Flockhart.
5. His second wife, Melissa Matheson wrote the screenplay for E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Ford actually played the part of Elliott’s teacher but the part was cut at the last minute. Now that is a deleted scene that I really want to see.
6. Harrison Ford has only been nominated for one Oscar® ….Best Actor for Witness. He does have 4 Golden Globe® nominations…those were for Witness, The Mosquito Coast, The Fugitive and Sabrina.
7. In 2000, Harrison Ford proved he could be a hero in real life as well as on the screen. Ford piloted his helicopter to rescue a dehydrated hiker on Table Mountain near his house in Wyoming.
8. Roles Harrison Ford turned down or was seriously considered for: Dragonheart, The Hunt for Red October, Vanilla Sky, Jurassic Park, Syriana, JFK, The Untouchables, Dick Tracy, Proof of Life, Schlinder’s List, The Perfect Storm, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Alien.
9. Harrison Ford says his favorite movie that he performed in is….. The Mosquito Coast….and the most frustrating film he acted in was …..Blade Runner. Ford says Deckard was human….Ridley Scott the director says Deckard was a replicant….put me on the side that Deckard was human

“Steven Spielberg Plans 2019 Start Date for ‘Indiana Jones Twitter”
1 “Oh no! this means that Methuselah Ford will be on the march again. I remember watching one of the Indie adventures with my then young son and I told him that I thought the Jones yarns were set in the mid-1930s to which my son replied “That means that he’d be dead today dad.”
2 Unfortunately my boy was too young to realize that the Hollywood fantasists had the shameless capacity for giving the Living Dead more lives than GLENN Ford.
3 If you look at the old face grinning out at you from the photo at the head of this page you’d be forgiven for thinking that some Ancient One had been dragged out of the A C Lyles graveyard to play the earthly father of Chewie. So much for the old adage that “You can’t flog a dead horse”! Certainly it makes one despair of the modern cinema and its endless banal franchises
Hey Bob….goodness…Harrison Ford will be close to 80 when they finish this movie….my expectation level is very low. Good points.

Hey Steve…thanks for sharing the link. Interesting read for sure…and perfect for Harrison’s 75th birthday. Complete turn around about 95 minutes from you posting the link….to me approving it and commenting on it. That ain’t too bad….lol.
Good point. It is past time to give the man a Oscar.
Glad you see it that way too….Chewy…thanks for stopping by.
I first noticed Harrison Ford in Force 10 From Navarone many years ago. His role was only a support actor, but he performed it convincingly. Like most fine wines, he has only gotten better with age. Blade Runner is still a favorite, although it’s hard to turn away from any of his efforts.
Hey rcrumple…..thanks for the comment and the visit….I actually saw Force Ten From Navarone at the theater…Ford was coming off the hit Star Wars….and had to play second fiddle to Robert Shaw….pretty sure it was Robert Shaw’s last movie. I think he made three movies between Star Wars movies and each pretty much failed…Force Ten, The Frisco Kid and Hanover Street. I think after Empire he started to really look at scripts and had the magic touch from 1980 to about 1996. Hopefully he still has some magic left in him as he has 4 movies coming out in the next few years. I appreciate the kind words about my movie page…they are greatly appreciated.
