With Indiana Jones 4 on the cards after years of rumours and rejected scripts, Harrison Ford will be at the top of the heap for some time to come. Perhaps soon, like those other “low-grade†action stars Spielberg and Eastwood, he will be honoured by his peers at the Oscars. It could happen. He's already been given a Special Cecil B. DeMille Golden Globe, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute (previous winners James Stewart, Bette Davis, James Cagney, Henry Fonda). Maybe it ought to happen. Hollywood being obsessed with money, there are 6 billion reasons why.

Harrison Ford, known to millions as the face of Han Solo and Indiana Jones, has starred in some of the most successful movies ever made. The Illinois native majored in philosophy at Ripon College, but left without obtaining a degree. In 1964, he moved to California to pursue an acting career. Though he landed minor roles in a number of films and television shows in the mid-1960s as a studio contract player, Ford found it difficult to make ends meet. He took carpentry jobs on the side to supplement his income, and soon gave up acting entirely or so he thought.
