Early Life: Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois. Before becoming one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, Ford worked as a carpenter to support his family whilst pursuing acting roles.

Career Breakthrough: Ford's career took off when he was cast as Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy (1977-1983), a role that made him a household name and launched him into international stardom.

Iconic Roles: Beyond Han Solo, Ford is best known for portraying Indiana Jones in the beloved adventure film series, starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). These roles established him as one of cinema's greatest action heroes.

Aviation Passion: In real life, Ford is an accomplished pilot who flies both planes and helicopters. He has been involved in numerous search and rescue missions and is passionate about aviation safety.

Environmental Activism: Ford serves as Vice Chair of Conservation International and is a dedicated environmental activist, using his platform to advocate for climate change awareness and conservation efforts worldwide.

Revolutionary Beginning: When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn't been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands.

Influential Illustrators: Several of its illustrators later became influential within the children's book industry, including Corinne Malvern, Tibor Gergely, Gustaf Tenggren, Feodor Rojankovsky, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkin, and Garth Williams.

Diverse Content: Many books in the Little Golden Books series deal with nature, science, Bible stories, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. Christmas titles are published every year.

Popular Characters: Some Little Golden Books and related products have featured popular characters from other media, such as Disney, Looney Tunes, The Muppets, Sesame Street, Sonic the Hedgehog, Barbie, Power Rangers, Thomas the Tank Engine, and others.

Celebrity Biographies: Film and television personalities have been particularly popular. Over the years Hopalong Cassidy, Cheyenne, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Captain Kangaroo, Mister Rogers, and Donny and Marie Osmond have appeared in Little Golden Books. The line has also published occasional biographies; recent examples include Betty White, Dolly Parton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and now Harrison Ford.

Enduring Legacy: At the time of the series' golden anniversary in 1992, Golden Books claimed that a billion and a half Little Golden Books had been sold worldwide.
