Harrison Ford

If a 77-year old senator can circle the Earth in the Space Shuttle, then it only makes sense that an actor in his fifties can often be called the sexiest man alive.

Of course, women have always had a hankering for the craggy-faced Harrison Ford. From the swashbuckling space cowboy Han Solo in Star Wars to the action hero President in Air Force One, Ford has always been able to attract female fans who like his "roguish charm" or "sensitive eyes".

Harrison Ford has been compared to a modern-day Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck. Filmgoers equate his rugged good looks and low-key style with an honest, hard working character. Ford himself has said that he is attracted to characters who are pretty ordinary but find the courage to do what needs to be done. This ability to pick good characters has led him to a film career that's been going since the late Sixties. In November of 1999, the American Film Institute announced that Harrison had been chosen to receive the organization's 28th life achievement award on Feb. 28, 2000.
