HARRISON FORD’S biography is like a list of the best
movies ever. He starred in all three of the original Star Wars
movies as Han Solo, he’s played the heroic president of the
United States in Air Force One and saved the world as Indiana
Jones in three flicks.This week the actor showed up as a
Russian submarine commander in his new film, K-19: The
Widowmaker, and his new girlfriend, Ally McBeal star Calista
Flockhart, for the film’s premiere Monday in Los Angeles. This
is the first time the couple have attended a public event
together.In August 2001, Harrison separated from his wife,
Melissa Mathison. Following on his brief affair with Minnie
Driver, Harrison Ford is now strolling hand-in-hand with
Calista Flockhart.Their new romance is so red-hot, pals insist
they’re already heading for the altar.During a January stroll
in Santa Monica, California, the stars even popped into a
jewelry store where Flockhart, 37, lingered over a display of
sparkling engagement and wedding rings, according to American
tabloid magazine Star.A friend says, “Calista is crazy about
Harrison and is walking on cloud nine. It looks very serious.
We’ve never seen her like this.”Another pal adds, “She’s been
telling her friends on the Ally McBeal set that she has a ‘big
secret’ and she’s going to let them know soon. Everyone’s
predicting Calista’s days as a single gal are numbered.”And
Ford’s friends reveal Ford fell head over heels for Calista.In
March, 2002 Ford, Flockhart and his daughter, 11-year-old
Georgia, looking very much like a happy family, got together
at a sushi restaurant in trendy Brentwood, California.An
eyewitness says, “It appeared it was the first time Calista
and Georgia met, but they seemed to get along really well.
They were all having so much fun — laughing and smiling.”
Harrison Ford turned 60 last Saturday. He celebrated in
Wyoming with his younger kids.But he’s reticent about his love
life, recent fodder for the tabloids. “I’m not going to talk
about my personal life,’’ he says.His personal life made news
when he split from, returned to and last summer finally broke
up with his wife of 17 years, screenwriter Melissa Mathison,
who filed for a legal separation.There have been reports of
visits to raunchy clubs such as New York’s Hogs and Heifers, a
flirtation with Lara Flynn Boyle two years ago, a dalliance
with Minnie Driver and, most recently, his relationship with
Calista Flockhart.(SD-Agencies)
He’s the robust hero Indiana Jones. She’s the career
girl’s heroine Ally McBeal. Now Harrison Ford and Calista
Flockhart are sounding like a serious couple. There are even
wedding rumors.
