Parental Advice
A Snippet of Conversation Between Harrison Ford
and His Father
by Michael C.
Keith
Everyone thinks I’m just a
silly kid when I say I want to be a movie star or
a carpenter when I grow up. Why do they bother
asking me that question if they’re going to
laugh at what I say? I don’t think it’s
impossible that someone discovers me if we’re
in Hollywood where all the studios are. That’s
the reason I want to go there, I tell my Dad.
“Ain’t that easy, son,”
he says, and then tells me to stick with the idea
of becoming a hammer and nail man, as he calls it.
“Maybe I can do both,” I
say.
“Yeah,” he answers,
grinning broadly, “You could build yourself
a movie house.”
