Harrison Ford: Man, Movie Star, Hero

Love and Marriage

Harrison Ford was divorced from his first wife, with whom he had two sons, in 1979. In 1983, Ford married Melissa Mathison, a Hollywood screenwriter (pictured) who wrote the screenplay for the beloved movie classic, E.T. Together, they had two children, Malcolm and Georgia, and for many years, a strong and loving marriage. After eighteen years of marriage, Mathison filed for divorce from Harrison, after he had been in the tabloids frequently with scandalous behavior at strip clubs and drunken nights out. Mathison was said to be devastated by Harrison’s behavior and the failure of their marriage, “crying herself to sleep.” Mathison died of cancer in 2015.
