Star Wars! Indiana Jones! Blade Runner! Working Girl! Sabrina! There are bankable stars, and then there’s Harrison Ford—a performer with the kind of résumé most actors could only dream of.
These days, at 84, Ford remains very much in the mix, appearing in series such as Apple TV+’s Shrinking, alongside Jason Segel and Jessica Williams, and Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western 1923, opposite Helen Mirren. That’s what makes it so fun to revisit his earlier days in the movie business, hanging around with Carrie Fisher and Ridley Scott; shielding his eyes from the flashing lights at Cannes, in Deauville, or just walking down the street in New York with a pair of aviators; and otherwise affirming his status as one of Hollywood’s most enduring heartthrobs.
Here, in honor of his birthday, we’ve gathered 17 snapshots of Harrison Ford, a leader among leading men.
