Mini Biography

His father was Irish, his mother Russian-Jewish. He was a lackluster student at Main Township High School in Park Ridge Illinois (no athletic star, never above a C average). After dropping out of college in Wisconsin, where he did some acting and later summer stock, he signed a Hollywood contract with Columbia and later Universal. His roles in movies and TV ("Ironside" (1967), "The Virginian" (1962)) remained secondary and, discouraged, he turned to a career in professional carpentary. He came back big four years later, however, as Bob Falfa in American Graffiti (1973). Four yers after that he hit colossal with the role of Han Solo in Star wars (1977). Another four years and Ford was (words fail) Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981). Still another four years and her received Academy Awards and Golden Globe nominations for his role as John Book in Witness (1985). All he managed for four years after that was his third staring role as Indiana Jones; in fact, many of his earlier successful roles led to sequals, as did his portrayel of Jack Ryder in Patriot Games (1992). Another Golden Globe nomination came his way for the part of Dr Richard Kimble in The Fugitive (1993). He is clearly a well-established Hollywood Superstar. He also maintains an 800-acre ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
