Like Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford would likely turn out to be the most famous person in any state he'd been born in. Ford is Hollywood royalty, having achieved success in every genre, and with every style of movie. He's still as popular today in his 70s as he was thirty or forty years ago, and is showing no signs of slowing down. There's even talk that he'll soon be back in yet another new 'Indiana Jones' movie!
How you best know Ford will probably depend on what sort of films you prefer watching. Science fiction fans know him as Han Solo from the 'Star Wars' films. We've already mentioned the 'Indiana Jones' action series, but if you like your movies a little edgier and more thoughtful, 'Blade Runner' might have been the first place you saw his face. Ford was born and grew up in Chicago, although he says he had no interest in acting until he went to university in Wisconsin.
