Helen MirrenHarrison Ford was credited with helping to mold her into the actress that she is today.
Mirren said that he was a movie star when they first worked together and that he was like no one. This was at the premiere of “1923” on Friday night. “So, I was very intimidated.”
“I learned a lot from him because I hadn’t done a lot. At that time, I had seen a lot of theatre. [but] I hadn’t done a lot of movies. So I watched him and he taught me a great deal about film acting that, to this day, I’m still using.”
In 1986, Ford and Mirren were the first to work together. They were husband and wife in Peter Weir’s “The Mosquito Coast.” Ford was well-known for his roles in “Star Wars” (Indiana Jones) films at the time.

Mirren talked about how she developed her character in a previous interview for Vanity Fair.
“I wanted her to speak with an Irish accent and not an American accent. It’s always slightly annoyed me with Westerns that you have all these people speaking with modern American accents when in fact so many of them were fairly recent immigrants,” she told the outlet.
