Harrison Ford Turns 80 Today

Mark Hamill and many others wished the Han Solo and Indiana Jones actor happy birthday…

“It’s not the age, it’s the mileage.”

Next to “It belongs in a museum,” it might be the most famous utterance of Dr. Henry Jones Jr.

And the phrase seems completely apropos today as Harrison Ford turns 80.

The current Chewbacca remembered, too.

Drew Struzan, who captured Ford’s face on many a poster, shared some sketches.

And obviously, the occasion is newsworthy.

A Birthday Gift

And now a gift from me to you on Harrison Ford’s birthday.
