This landmark birthday for our sole remaining great movie star reminds me that he seems to have been an octogenarian for decades now
ednesday is Harrison Ford’s 80th birthday. It’s a strange occasion for a couple of reasons. The first is that Ford is our sole remaining great movie star. Nicholson is a recluse. Pacino and De Niro dissolved into self-parody long ago. Everyone else is too young to qualify. But Ford still has it. Often when movie stars hit a peak, all the characters they play have a habit of becoming extensions of their own persona. Not Ford, though. He’s Han Solo. He’s.
You don’t see it so much in his films. On the rare occasion that he makes them, he still has a tendency to play the sort of tough guys who get thrown through windows . Even in his most recent film,, Ford exuded the sort of taciturn, lived-in charisma that most other actors can only dream of achieving.
