Biography
Kansas City, Missouri, 16 March 1884: a boy named Harrison Ford arrived in the world, decades before the name would ring lightsabers and bullwhips. Silent screens claimed him in the mid-1920s, where he slipped between the velvet curtains of Proud Flesh (1925), Sandy (1926), and The Nervous Wreck (1926), trading talk for smolder and title cards for close-ups. Off-camera, he claimed Beatrice Prentice as his leading lady for life. The final curtain fell on 2 December 1957 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, closing a reel that still flickers in black-and-white archives.
