The actor Harrison Ford turns 80 on July 13th. What makes a movie star, then? What makes that image and persona stay with a viewer far beyond the movie itself? It’s not as ineffable as we sometimes might think. We can define aspects of the movie star’s screen presence that stay with us. With Harrison Ford, whose 80th birthday is on July 13th, the answer is perhaps found in performances that combine the pensive and the determined with a sensitivity and dependability.
