Harrison Ford's grandpa renaissance

For many of us, Harrison Ford was a staple of our childhood, the dashing space rogue, the dashing archelogy professor/adventurer. You might have played with at least one action figure in his image (perhaps you should have collected it, kept it safe on the shelf). As he aged, his roles did too. He was the changed man in "Regarding Henry," the innocent man in "The Fugitive," the leading, ruggedly romantic one in many films including "Working Girl." And of course, he's been the president.

Not taking an acting class until his senior year of college, Ford once described himself as a "late bloomer," but unlike some artists of his generation, he continues to be allowed to grow. He's starring in two, top-rated shows at the moment, and has a slew of new movies on the way, including a new "Indiana Jones" film. He's also 80.
