His father was Irish,
his mother Russian-Jewish. He was a lackluster student at Maine Township High School East in Park Ridge Illinois (no athletic
star, never above a C average). After dropping out of Ripon 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 carpentry. He came back big four years later, however, as Bob Falfa in American Graffiti (1973). Four years after that he hit colossal with the role of Han
Solo in Star Wars (1977). Another four years and Ford was Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).Four years later and he received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for his role as John Book in Witness (1985). All he managed four years after that was his third starring
success as Indiana Jones; in fact, many of his earlier successful roles led to sequels as did his more recent portrayal of
Jack Ryan 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.

PAST NEWS / COOLWATERS & FORD making history! From APRIL 18, 2008:
Coolwaters Productions
LLC is pleased to announce that we have secured the personal approval of Mr. Harrison Ford for the new INDIANA JONES CINEMAQUETTE
from TOYNAMI!
Mr. Ford was so impressed with the detailed attention to this fully licensed product
that he personally signed the master Certificate of Authenticity! Mr. Ford does not often lend his name to a licensee &
Mr. Ford's signature is hard to obtain as it is, so the fact that he gave permission to Toynami to replicate it for their
certificate proves that this Indiana Jones collectible MUST be "top notch". These will be produced in a VERY limited
quantities, so order now!
To order OR if you do not know what a "cinemaquette" is we
invite you to check out their official web site at:

FROM October 12, 2006: Coolwaters Productions LLC is pleased to announce that its FIRST private signing with actor HARRISON FORD! This was the first time Mr. Ford had ever signed autographs in a private setting. At this point in time Mr.
Ford will only be signing the MASTER REPLICAS Millennium Falcon TM Signature edition plaques AND 50 movie posters for Coolwaters Productions LLC. MASTER REPLICAS sold out of their limited edition FALCON shortly after it went on sale! However Coolwaters Productions LLC has
a VERY LIMITED number of STAR WARS TM and INDIANA JONES TM movies posters available for sale. Mr. Ford has agreed to sign 25 STAR WARS TM posters and 25 INDIANA JONES TM posters. The posters will all be different ranging from STAR WARS TM, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK TM, RETURN OF THE JEDI TM, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK TM, THE TEMPLE OF DOOM TM and THE LAST CRUSADE TM. Derek Maki, president of Coolwaters Productions LLC explains; “We have been searching for several months
for original movie posters from all six films. It’s been very difficult to locate posters that are in mint condition,
so as a last resort we will have a limited number of ORIGINALS and the rest of the posters will be fully licensed reprints.” The posters will range in price depending on it available quantity and
condition. Prices have not yet been determined, but Coolwaters anticipates a complete sell out! All the posters in the edition will have a special hologram sticker with matching serial number
for an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity. The Certificates will have a photo of Mr. Ford signing the posters
The best part of the signing
is that a portion of EVERY sale is donated to Mr. Ford's chairty of choice: CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL (click on their logo
to learn more about them!
The signing agreement was made on July 19, 2006, just in time for Master
Replicas to announce it at the San Diego Comic Con event. Coolwaters was even able to obtain a prototype plaque from Master
Replicas and had Mr. Ford hand sign it. SO THAT MEANS the plaque that fans are seeing at San Diego may not look the same in
the final production run, BUT THE AUTOGRAPH is in fact REAL!“Part of what made Harrison decide to go with Coolwaters
and Master Replicas was our reputations. Coolwaters has numerous STAR WARS TM clients that include Billy Dee Williams, Carrie Fisher and Warwick Davis. I am sure this helped Harrison decide to go with us. As for why he chose Master Replicas, his
assistant told me that when he came into the office and saw the Master Replicas HAN SOLO TM blaster (which we had sent down for him to see) that he was blown away with their quality
of their work. His manager also mentioned that she was very aware of the craftsmanship that Master Replicas gives to all their
pieces. Master Replicas should be very proud of the work they do, and it shows, since Harrison did agree to sign their plaque
and endorsed their Millennium Falcon
