What happened to Harrison Ford’s first wife? Mary Marquardt Wiki Bio
Mary Marquardt was born in the USA in 1945, specific date and place unknown, but her zodiac sign is said to be Sagittarius and she holds American nationality. She is a retired illustrator and a chef, but probably best known for being the first wife of famous American actor Harrison Ford.
Early life and education
Mary was raised an only child by her father who was a bus driver and her mother who was a housewife. She grew up interested in modelling after becoming a cheerleader in high school, however, as she was very good at drawing, she started taking drawing and painting lessons too, and changed her focus.
Mary Marquardt and Harrison Ford, 1985
Posted by Janos Roszol on Sunday, April 22, 2012
Upon matriculation, she enrolled at Ripon College, Wisconsin, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in liberal arts in 1967. While she was still attending college, Mary started cooking, and enjoying it so much that she changed her mind again, deciding to become a chef.
Mary’s career
Mary has been working as an illustrator for years now, while she has mostly been focused on her job as a chef. She’s worked as a chef at many popular restaurants in the US, including one owned by her now ex-husband Harrison Ford. She retired from work in 2001 due to illness, and has since been unemployed.
Love life and marriage with Harrison Ford
Mary met Harrison in 1962 while she was still attending high school, and they married two years later on 18 June 1964. She supported Harrison while he was working his way up in the film industry, and she suggested that he try to become a voice-over actor in Los Angeles – although Harrison did not get the job, he was hired by Columbia Pictures, and soon landed his first movie role. In 1966 Mary gave birth to their son Benjamin, while their second son Willard followed in 1969.
It was in 1977 that Harrison became famous worldwide, after portraying Han Solo in the critically acclaimed movie “Star Wars”.
In the same year, he secretly started seeing Carrie Fisher who was appearing in the same film portraying Princess Leia. Mary found out about the two’s affair, which led to her and Harrison’s divorce in 1979.
Mary is still very close to both of her sons – Benjamin has decided to become a chef as well, and Willard is a clothes designer. Benjamin and Mary were working together at a restaurant in Culver City in California before Mary was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2001, and had to stop working. Benjamin has a son Ethan from his first marriage, and a son Waylan from his second marriage.
Hobbies and other interests
Mary has been a fan of the film industry since a very early age, and some of her favorite actors and actresses are Robin Williams, Will Smith and Meryl Streep, while some of her favorite movies include “Patch Adams”, “Seven Pounds”, and “The Devil Wears Prada”. She is a fan of jazz and blues music, with some of her favorite singers being Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. She enjoys being outdoors, spending her free time in nature, and she is a family person as she is very close to her two sons.
Mary is a philanthropist, who has worked with several charity organizations such as Compassion International, United Way, and World Vision International among others. She is a big lover of animals and has had several pet dogs and cats.
Appearance and net worth
Mary is 74 years old. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes, is 5ft 5ins (1.65m) tall, and weighs around 128lbs (58kgs). As of March 2020, her net worth is estimated at over $2 million.
Who is Harrison Ford? Wiki Bio
Harrison Ford was born in Chicago, Illinois USA on 13 July 1942 – his zodiac sign is Cancer and he holds American nationality. He is an actor popular worldwide, best known for his roles in movies such as “Star Wars”, “Blade Runner”, and as Indiana Jones, among many other appearances.
Harrison was raised with his younger brother Terence born in 1945, in Chicago by their father John William Ford who was an actor, and his mother Dorothy Nidelman who was working as a radio actress.
Harrison became a boy scout at a very early age and this later inspired Steven Spielberg to show Indiana Jones in the film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” as a Life Scout. Harrison attended Maine East High School before enrolling at Ripon College, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in philosophy.
He launched his career when he signed his first contract with Columbia Pictures worth $150 per week, and was credited for his first role in the movie “A Time for Killing” in 1967. He stopped working for Columbia Pictures in 1969, switching to Universal Studios and playing support roles in movies such as “Gunsmoke”, “The Virginian”, and “American Style” among others.
Harrison became famous after he was invited to portray Han Solo in the first of the “Star Wars” movies in 1977. He was praised for his performance, and then appeared in sequels such as “The Empire Strikes Back” shot in 1980, “Return of the Jedi” in 1983, and “Star Wars Holiday Special”. Harrison could have also be seen starring in the latest “Star Wars” movies such as “The Force Awakens” in 2015 and “The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019.
He is also known for portraying archaeologist Indiana Jones in several movies such as “Raiders of the Lost Ark” released in 1981, “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984, and in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” which came out in 1989.
He has recently been cast to appear in another Indiana Jones movie set to be released on 10 July 2020. Harrison has appeared in numerous other movies such as “Blade Runner”, “Clear and Present Danger”, and “The Hunt for Red October” among others.
He married his second wife Melissa Mathison in March 1983, and the two were together until 2008 when they divorced. Melissa gave birth to two of their children Malcolm Ford and Georgia Ford born in 1987 and 1990, respectively. His third wife is Calista Flockhart, whom he married on 15 June 2010 and they adopted their son Liam who was born in 2001.

Quotes
# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | (On Carrie Fisher) "Carrie was one-of-a-kind...brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life bravely." |
2 | [on The Fugitive (1993)] As sometimes happens, we started without a complete script. We were still working on the script while we were shooting. We were to some extent making it up as we went along. The work experience to me was very gratifying because no matter what the difficult conditions were, I felt we overcame them, usually at the last moment. It's often the most difficult circumstances that produce some of the best movies. |
3 | I find it impossible to compare directors to each other. With each of them that I've had the opportunity to work with, it was made in the context of a piece of material which makes each experience unique. |
4 | [on never winning an Oscar] I think I'll be alright. |
5 | [After Donald Trump announced that he admired the way Ford stood up for America in Air Force One (1997)] Donald, it was a movie! In real life it's not actually like that. |
6 | [2010 interview, on Working Girl (1988)] I haven't seen it for a long time but I assume it's a good movie. It sure was fun to make. |
7 | [on Witness (1985)] Making the movie was a wonderful experience, fast and fluid - great fun. John Seale, the brilliant cinematographer, also made an enormous contribution to the film. We were blessed with so many talented people working together, but it's a Peter Weir film through and through. |
8 | [on his pierced left ear] I don't think in and of themselves earrings are sexy. If I did, I'd have six of them. |
9 | I'm not crazy about interviews. But I don't hate them. I have an aversion to celebrity. I have an argument with the place that celebrity has in this country and in this culture. There's just too much celebrity babble out there... I'm in a service occupation. It's like being a waiter or a gas station attendant. The guy in the restaurant is waiting on six people. I'm waiting on six million. |
10 | [lamenting earlier times in his career] People still went to movies in those days. People went to movie theaters. It was a community experience, and that was part of the fun. Now people see a movie on their iPad, alone, with interruptions for snacks. |
11 | [on the 1985 novel "Ender's Game"] It's a really interesting book. It's required reading in some of the military academies here in the United States because of some of the things it says about military responsibility, command responsibility, aspects of leadership. And it was incredibly prescient. Some of the things it talks about, predicted about future war, are absolutely happening right before our eyes. We haven't had an alien invasion, but we have evolved the capacity to practice warfare at a distance. |
12 | For a variety of reasons - which are more entertainingly conveyed in the film [Ender's Game (2013)] than I can describe here - young people are very appropriate for the kind of warfare being practiced in the future. They have to be transformed from children into warriors. |
13 | [on Ender's Game (2013)] None of Mr Card's [Orson Scott Card] concerns regarding the issue of gay marriage are part of the thematics of this film... I think his views outside of those that we deal with in this film are not an issue for me to deal with. I have really no opinion on that issue. I am aware of his statements admitting that the question of gay marriage is a battle that he lost. He admits that he lost it. I think we all know that we've all won, that humanity has won, and I think that's the end of the story. |
14 | [on Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)] When I read the script I thought, "Man, this is the best thing I've seen - ever." |
15 | I knew there was a difference in how the business saw leading men and character actors, though I never really thought there was a difference. Still, I don't think people knew what to make of me. It wasn't until Witness (1985) that people started considering me a leading man. |
16 | [2013] At this point, I'm not thinking I can play the leading man in many of the popular films we see today. |
17 | I used to think how great it would be to make a living as an actor, to not have to do something else. But I never thought I'd get to do the breadth of movies I got to do. I was thinking, 'maybe I'll get some parts in television shows.' |
18 | When I started my career, I thought I would be a character actor. I never thought I had a chance at leading man roles. I thought that was for good-looking guys with talent. |
19 | (2010) There's nothing better than seeing a herd of elk right outside the window of my house in Wyoming. My land gives me an opportunity to be close to nature, and I find spiritual solace in nature, contemplating our species in the context of the natural world. The property is much the same as it was 150 years ago. It's in the mountains and had never been developed when I bought it. Apart from the home and outbuildings, I've kept it pretty much in that state. I know that the property will be there for as long as I live and well after that in the hands of my children. |
20 | (2010) I'm so passionate about flying I often fly up the coast for a cheeseburger. Flying is like good music: it elevates the spirit and it's an exhilarating freedom. It's not a thrill thing or an adrenaline rush; it's engaging in a process that takes focus and commitment. I love the machines, I love the aviation community. I used to own airplanes and have pilots flying them for me, but I finally realized they were having more fun than I was. They were getting to play with my toys. I was 52 when I started flying - I'd been an actor for 25 years and I wanted to learn something new. Acting was my only identity. Learning to fly was a lot of work, but the net result was a sense of freedom and a pleasure in seeing to the safety of myself and the people who fly with me. All of my planes are great to fly, and that's why I've got so many of them. I have a Citation Sovereign, a long-range jet; a Grand Caravan, a turboprop aircraft capable of operating on unimproved strips; and a De Havilland, a bush plane. I have a 1929 Waco Taperwing open-top biplane; a 1942 PT-22 open-top monoplane trainer; an Aviat Husky, a two-seat fabric-covered bush plane; and a Bell 407 helicopter. I also have more than my fair share of motorbikes - eight or nine. I have four or five BMWs, a couple of Harleys, a couple of Hondas and a Triumph; plus I have sports touring bikes. I'm a single rider, and I love being out in the air. I like the focus that comes when you're riding - you really have to be very keyed into what you're doing. I ride up into the mountains in LA on twisty little canyon roads on Sunday mornings with a group of other enthusiasts. |
21 | (2010, on fame) There's nothing good about being famous. You always think, 'If I'm successful, then I'll have opportunities.' You never figure the cost of fame will be a total loss of privacy. That's incalculable. What a burden that is for anybody. It was unanticipated and I've never enjoyed it. You can get the table you want in a restaurant. It gets you doctor's appointments. But what's that worth? Nothing. The real coin of the realm is freedom - to make choices, do the projects that you want to do and have some control over the stories and the way a film is released and sold. |
22 | (2010, on acting in film) I'm in it for the money. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. This is my job. Acting is my craft, I've spent my whole life working on it and I want to get paid well to do it, because otherwise I'm being irresponsible, not valuing what I do for a living. When I came into this business I didn't even know the names of the movie studios - I was under contract to a studio for $150 a week. One thing I learned is that the studios had no respect for a person who was willing to work for them for that amount. So I realized that the value I put on my own work was the value and respect I would get back. |
23 | [on acting and accessing emotions] You have to be willing to *live* in front of people. Live in front of people. Let them see the good, the bad, the ugly, the weak, the strong, the conflicted, the terrible... One of the things about acting that gives me the greatest satisfaction is the opportunity for that emotional exercise. That investment to the point where it produces true emotion. |
24 | [on Sabrina (1995)] Somehow Sydney Pollack and I talked ourselves into working on that. Sydney's gone now. I miss him. We both lived long enough to regret it. There is no reason to do something that's already been done. But happily we launched the careers of Greg Kinnear and Julia Ormond, who is wonderful in the movie. She's gone on to have a good career. It was a noble effort, a bizarre adventure for both of us. |
25 | [on Steven Spielberg] It's hard to say why someone is successful or not successful, but Steven has all of the mental capacities and the film chops to make successful movies. I think he understands human emotion very well and he understands dramatic construction and he understands cinema. And if he chooses to do a popular film, it will likely be very successful. If he chooses to do something with a different kind of ambition, then Steven is secure enough I think to let the chips fall where they may. |
26 | I make a character out of those things that allow him to tell the story. I'm not an actor who will say, "Well, my character would never do that." If the story requires it, then I'll find a way of accommodating that in character. For me, it's not about performance. It's about storytelling. Once I get a clear idea of what I want to accomplish, then acting is just dressing up and playing. |
27 | [on what he looks for in a film] I look for those things that I can have an emotional investment in. I disadvantage myself by thinking, "Oh, this is what I'm looking for, this is what I like." I don't know what I like. I like what I like... being an assistant storyteller, helping create characters that bring a story dramatic shape and dimension. |
28 | [on acting] - I love it. I don't feel as useful any place as I do on a movie set. I'm very surprised and delighted at the luck I've had. I've been enormously lucky. I've had a long run. And now I have a chance to play old guys. |
29 | [on George Lucas] A fountain from which my career sprang, more or less. |
30 | [on fatherhood]: My first child was born when I was 25. Babies raising babies is not a pretty sight. I'm much better at it now. |
31 | [on The Mosquito Coast (1986)] That's a movie I like very much. It gave me an opportunity to turn people's perception of me on its head. |
32 | I'm old enough to play my own father in this one. Sean's only twelve years older than I am. In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) I had to play so much younger than I am in order to make it work for him. It was really a strain. |
33 | If people recognize me when I'm out in public, I'm very nice to them. I'm very nice to people even when they don't recognize me. I don't even mind if people come up to me while I'm eating dinner, but if they recognize me while I'm having sex, I refuse to sign autographs. |
34 | Los Angeles is where you have to be if you want to be an actor. You have no choice. You go there or New York. I flipped a coin about it. It came up New York, so I flipped again. When you're starting out to be an actor, who wants to go where it's cold and miserable and be poor there? |
35 | [on Inside the Actors Studio (1994)] As a man I've always felt Irish, as an actor I've always felt Jewish. |
36 | [on registering as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War] I confused them so badly that they never took action on my petition. My conscientious objection wasn't based on a history of religious affiliation, which made it difficult at the time. I went back to my philosophy training from college. I remembered Paul Tillich's phrase, "If you have trouble with the word God, take whatever is central or most meaningful to your life and call that God." I always had trouble with the notion of God in a stand-up form. So I developed a thesis and took the Biblical injunction to love thy neighbor as thyself as the central and most meaningful thing in my life. I combined it all and typed for days and sent it off and never heard a word. Never got called in. |
37 | Identification solely with Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) could have been the beginning and the end, with no middle, to my career. |
38 | [1979, on Han Solo] He's not a cardboard character to me at all. He's as real as anything else. I never thought of the character as having only two dimensions until the critics said so. And they're wrong. The third dimension is me. |
39 | I don't want to be a movie star. I want to be in movies that are stars. |
40 | I grew up in the Midwest. You don't ask what a person's religion is, you don't ask what their politics are, you don't ask how much money they make and I pretty much still have that attitude about it. It's none of anybody's business and I don't advantage anyone by telling them what my personal politics are. The arguments are much too subtle to be entered in that way, to my mind. There are things that I think are happening in the world that are egregious mistakes but I'm only operating out of my own box and I don't have any expertise. I'm a voter... I have one vote, that's all I should have. |
41 | I had a very strong feeling about the Vietnam War, and I had a strong feeling about participating in it. The military draft was in place, I was summoned for a physical exam, and I was either going to be classified as fit for military service or make my objection to it. So I made my objection to it. |
42 | I saw a bit of director Stephen Gaghan's movie Syriana (2005), and I wish I'd played the part that was offered to me - [George Clooney]'s part. I didn't feel strongly enough about the truth of the material and I think I made a mistake. I think the film underwent some changes, and I think a lot of it is very truthful: the things that I thought weren't, were obviated after I left the table. |
43 | Before, I was grateful for a job, almost any job. Now, I'm apprehensive but I know I have other options, and when I ask for the money, they pay it. It's that simple. |
44 | It's very little trouble for me to accommodate my fans, unless I'm actually taking a pee at the time. |
45 | I am a kinder, gentler Harrison Ford than I once was. |
46 | [on Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)] I understood the impact of those movies because I had young children who watched them religiously. I saw the Star Wars films so often in my house that I ended up knowing all of the other actors' lines. |
47 | My approach to acting is the "let's pretend" school of acting. If real emotion is available, use it, otherwise I follow what I think is an AA rule: "Fake it 'til you make it". Emotions are an interesting language. Sometime they sneak up on you when you're not expecting, when you are available to it. |
48 | What does that mean [when a director says] "Ttrust me"? Does that mean I should obviate all of my experience? Should I replace a certain knowledge with belief? Where does that get you? I have had experience in my life. I am 63 years old. Why should I be trusting a director? |
49 | I'm very disturbed about the direction American foreign policy is going. I think something needs to be done to help alleviate the conditions which have created a disenfranchised and angry faction in the Middle East. I don't think military intervention is the correct solution. I regret what we as a country have done so far. |
50 | I'm very troubled by the proliferation of arms, at the fact so many people in the United States carry guns. It obviously contributes greatly to the crime problems we have. I'm sure gun laws should be strengthened in the United States. I just don't know the correct mechanism. |
51 | I think American films right now are suffering from an excess of scale. Lots of movies we're seeing now are more akin to video games than stories about human life and relationships. Twelve- to 20-year-olds are maybe the largest economic force in the US movie business. I'm not a very nostalgic person - but I enjoy a good story. |
52 | I am not the first man who wanted to make changes in his life at 60 and I won't be the last. It is just that others can do it with anonymity. I was interested in changing my life. I have always had the ability to change and become other people through my acting. I took a good look at myself and decided I wanted something different from the way I was living. That's not such a bad thing, is it? But, because of my past, I think it took a lot of people by surprise. They wondered what was happening to me. I was very much aware of what was happening. I'm living the way I want to live. |
53 | [on George Lucas] I think George likes people. I think George is a kind, warm-hearted person, but he can be a little impatient with the nature of acting, the need to work 'til you find something. He's like "It's right there, it's right there, I wrote it, it's there, just do it." But you can't just do it that easily. |
54 | [asked if he believes in "The Force"] I think The Force is in you. Force yourself. |
55 | [on the appeal of Indiana Jones] Indiana Jones is always getting in way over his head and just barely getting out by the skin of his teeth. |
56 | Whoever had the bright idea of putting Indiana Jones in a leather jacket and a fedora in the jungle ought to be dragged into the street and shot. |
57 | Starring in a science-fiction film doesn't mean you have to act science fiction. |
58 | [on Blade Runner (1982)] It could have been so much more than a cult movie. |
59 | [on how Indiana Jones and Han Solo differed] Different clothes, different character. That's how I feel about it. |
60 | I had no expectation of the level of adulation that would come my way. I just wanted to make a living with a regular role in a television series. |
61 | [after his first screen test] The studio guy told me, "Kid, you have no future in this business." I said, "Why?" He said, "When Tony Curtis first walked onscreen carrying a bag of groceries -- a bag of groceries! -- you took one look at him and said, 'THAT'S a movie star!'" I said, "Weren't you supposed to say, 'That's a grocery delivery boy?'". |
62 | [asked if he would ever play Han Solo again] No, because I have outgrown that character. |
63 | [asked if he would ever play Indiana Jones again] In a New York minute. |
64 | [People magazine, 6/23/03] There have been times in my life when I have felt I was lonely, but I don't think you want to live your life in order to mitigate against loneliness. |
65 | [on what made him choose acting as a profession] Failure in all other fields. |
66 | [on the early days of his career] I started by chasing a Folger's commercial. But I just somehow couldn't manage to say, "Honey, that's a great cup of coffee.". |
67 | [acknowledging that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg originally wanted another actor to play Indiana Jones] My playing Indy was mentioned to me about only six weeks before shooting started, but being second choice wasn't at all offensive. I would always assume that it would be normal for a director - once having worked with an actor in a particular part - not to think of him for something else. I'd presume that he'd want to accentuate the difference between the two characters by having another actor. I was more than happy when they did ask me to play Indiana Jones, because it promised to be a terrific role in a great film. |
68 | [1997, after the Star Wars trilogy was reissued, explaining his disinterest in repeating the role of Han Solo] Once a film is finished, it's over for me. I'm on to something else. |
69 | The loss of anonymity is something that nobody can prepare you for. When it happened, I recognized that I'd lost one of the most valuable things in life. To this day, I'm not all that happy about it. |
70 | I think I did have a reputation for being grumpy. I don't think I'm grumpy. I have opinions. I have an independent vision. I am a purposeful person. But on a daily basis, I think I'm other than grumpy. I think it is a case where I am coming to do business and not there just to be flattered and cajoled and used. |
71 | You know you are getting old when all the names in your black book have "MD" after them. |
72 | [when asked, "If heaven exists, what would you want God to say to you at the pearly gates"?] You're a lot better looking in person. |
73 | I don't think I've mastered anything. I'm still wrestling with the same frustrations, the same issues, the same problems as I always did. That's what life is like. |
74 | I don't do stunts - I do running, jumping and falling down. After 25 years, I know exactly what I'm doing. |
75 | [on his marriage to Melissa Mathison] It was just part of the continuum of the relationship... I don't know if I ever proposed to her. |
76 | [on playing Indiana Jones again in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)] No one wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, but I'm still quite fit enough to fake it. |
77 | I used to shake my head, as in "No, I just look like him." But that's not fair. So I said to those little old ladies at Trenton Airport, "Yes, I am Harrison Ford." And they still didn't believe it was me. |
78 | [on being a leading man] I'm like a fireman. When I go out on a call, I want to put out a big fire, I don't want to put out a fire in a dumpster. |
79 | [to theater owners in Las Vegas] I'll make you a deal. I'll try to keep making films that put people in your theatre seats and you try to keep their shoes from sticking to the floor. |
80 | It's a little-known fact, but I wanted Han Solo to die at the end of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983). I thought it would give more weight and resonance. But George Lucas wasn't sympathetic. He didn't want me killed by those teddy bear guys. |

59 | His two most famous roles were actually not written "for him". He became attached to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) when he was reading lines with other actors doing their screen tests. When it came time to cast Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), George Lucas was adamant about not casting Ford because he did not want every movie he did to be a "Harrison Ford movie".

76 | In 2003, he accepted the Oscar for "Best Director" on behalf of Roman Polanski, who was not present at the awards ceremony, being a fugitive from United States justice since fleeing the country in 1978.

He went to Paris, where Polanski was living at the time, the same location both worked on years earlier in Frantic (1988). |

82 | Witness (1985) was his first role that broke him away from the science fiction and fantasy genres that made him famous.

He also worked with Ford in Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). |

92 | Said that Blade Runner (1982) was one of the most frustrating films he had ever done, because the actual shoot was very grueling and because of the post-production changes which were meant to (but did not) help the film do better at the box office. |
93 | He was voted the 46th Greatest Movie Star of all time by Entertainment Weekly. |
94 | His favorite record is "On the Edge", by his favorite artist, Patrick Rondat. |
95 | Had a role as the school principal in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) who reprimands Elliott about the dangers of alcohol.

Storybook released at the same time as the film. |
96 | His character, Han Solo, was ranked number 33 in Comedy Central's "Mouthing Off: 51 Greatest Smartasses". |

102 | At the time, his divorce from Melissa Mathison was the most expensive in the history of Hollywood. Today, this is ranked the fourth. |

105 | Had surgery on a torn rotator cuff. [October 2003] |
106 | He nearly turned down the role of Henry Turner in Regarding Henry (1991) because the main character was a trial lawyer.

112 | He suffered a back injury while filming Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and underwent an experimental (at the time) disc operation utilizing a papaya enzyme. While he was away Steven Spielberg filmed around him as best he could, including most of the conveyor belt scene, using Vic Armstrong, a British-born stuntman who looked so much like Ford that members of the crew were always confusing the two. Ford resumed doing his own stunts upon his return, and his close-ups were added later into the finished film. |
113 | Has a species of Central American ant (Peidole harrisonfordi) and spider (Calponia Harrisonfordi) named after him in honor of his conservation work. |
114 | His and Kevin Costner's casting choices have crossed paths many times before. Ford turned down the Jack Ryan role in The Hunt for Red October (1990), as did Costner. Ford instead made Presumed Innocent (1990) and Costner made his Oscar-winning Dances with Wolves (1990). The Jack Ryan role went to Alec Baldwin. |
115 | Dragonfly (2002) was written with Ford in mind for the lead role. He turned down to take a year off from making movies, and the role was given to Kevin Costner. |
116 | Honored for his work with the environment, Ford was asked to name a current breed of butterfly. He named this after his daughter, Georgia. |
117 | Credited with "creating" what many believe to be the best scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) because he was suffering from a bout of dysentery at the time of filming: during the scene in Cairo with the swordsman in black, the script called for a much longer fight, but because of his condition, he quietly asked director Steven Spielberg if they could shorten the scene. Spielberg's reply was that the only way it could be done would be if Indy pulled out his gun and "just shot the guy". The rest of the crew, not aware of the change, laughed at this, and it remained in the final cut. |
118 | Turned down the role of Judge Robert Wakefield in the movie Traffic (2000), which went to Michael Douglas. |
119 | Listed in the 2001 Guinness Book of Records as the richest male actor. |

121 | Turned down the romance-action film Proof of Life (2000) (the Russell Crowe role), the summer-blockbuster The Perfect Storm (2000) (the George Clooney role), and finally, another summer-blockbuster, the war-epic The Patriot (2000) (the Mel Gibson role). Ford has said The Patriot was "too violent" for his tastes, especially considering that many children were killed and endangered throughout the film. He told People magazine that he also turned down the film because he felt the story was too simple: "The Revolutionary War boiled down to one man seeking revenge". |
122 | Piloted his helicopter to rescue dehydrated 20-year-old hiker Sarah George from Table Mountain near his ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on July 31, 2000. |

126 | Has a scar on his chin which he got in 1968 when he tried to "buckle up" while already driving, and lost control of the car. The scar has been explained in two of his films: in the River Phoenix introductory sequence in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), an inexperienced young Indy hits himself in the chin the first time he tries to use the whip; and in Working Girl (1988), he first says that he got the scar in a knife fight, then admits that the true story is that he knocked his chin on a toilet after fainting during an ear-piercing. |
127 | Lives in a white-painted ranch house that he built himself in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. |
128 | Considers The Mosquito Coast (1986) to be the favorite of all his movies. |
129 | His ex-wife, Melissa Mathison, wrote the screenplay for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). |
130 | Studied at Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin, but left without obtaining a degree. |
131 | Listed as one of 50 people barred from entering Tibet on December 19, 1996. Disney clashed with Chinese officials over the film Kundun (1997), which Ford's second wife, Melissa Mathison, wrote. |
132 | Chosen by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World (1997). |
133 | Ranked #1 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. [October 1997] |
134 | Chosen as People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive (1998). |
135 | Private pilot, single engine fixed wing and helicopter. Owns a Bonanza, Gulfstream IV, DeHavland Beaver, and Bell 407 helicopter. Destroyed first 407 during simulated "engine-out" practice. Regularly flies himself between New York City and Wyoming homes. Has a loft in Tribeca, New York City. |
136 | He provided the whip-cracks on the song "Desperation Samba (Halloween in Tijuana)" for Jimmy Buffett's album "Last Mango in Paris". |
137 | Revealed on Late Show with David Letterman (1993) that he has some false teeth; two were pulled by a dentist after some others were damaged when he fell on a gun during a stunt for a television appearance early in his career. |
138 | Was a master carpenter before becoming a movie star, a craft he still does as a hobby. |
139 | Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#15) (1995). |
