Action Hero Superstar Harrison Ford Turns 70—Snakkle Takes a Look Back
Even approaching his 70th birthday, Harrison Ford is still one of the most popular and highest-grossing actors in the United States. He has headlined four of the top ten grossing movies of all time. He exudes a cool vulnerability paired with a crooked smile and dry wit that make women love him and men want to be him. Take a look back with Snakkle as we remember some of his greatest moments.

Harrison Ford as Han Solo in Star Wars (1977)
Unsatisfied with his early roles––bit parts and nonspeaking roles––Ford became a self-taught professional carpenter. A job at the home of director George Lucas opened the first of many doors for Ford. Lucas originally brought Ford in to read lines with other auditioning actors, but Ford eventually won him over and was cast as Han Solo. To date, it remains one of Ford’s most memorable roles.
