What's Happening?
Harrison Ford, renowned for his roles in 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones,' recently shared a story about a studio executive who doubted his future in Hollywood. During an interview, Ford recounted how, in 1966, while under contract with Columbia Pictures, he was told by the head of the new talent program that he had no future in the business. The executive suggested Ford change his name and adopt a hairstyle similar to Elvis Presley, advice Ford chose to ignore. Years later, after achieving significant success, Ford encountered the same executive, who admitted his mistake by handing Ford a card that read, 'I missed my guess.' Ford's career has since flourished, making him a Hollywood icon.
