Los Angeles, Dec 5 (IANS): Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren first acted as a couple in the 1986 Peter Weir film “The Mosquito Coast”. The veteran actress praised her and said the actor taught her “a great deal about film acting”.
“When we first worked together, she was a huge movie star and I was like nobody,” Mirren told Variety with a laugh at the red carpet premiere of “1923” on Friday night, ‘Variety’ reports.
“That’s why I was so intimidated.”
By 1986, Ford had already portrayed Han Solo in the original “Star Wars” trilogy and starred in two “Indiana Jones” features.
She continued, “I learned a lot from him because I hadn’t done much. I had done a lot of theater at that point, (but) I hadn’t done a lot of films. So I watched him and he taught me a great deal about film acting, to this day, I still use it.”
“I admired her work and her personality before, and I have the same level of admiration for her,” Ford said of Mirren. “She’s just a lovely person, so it’s been both a professional pleasure and also a personal pleasure to be able to work with her again.”
In the prequel series “Yellowstone”, the actors played Jacob and Cara Dutton, a couple who manage a family farm in 1920’s Montana while facing hardships during Western Expansion, Prohibition and the Great Depression.
“We’ll see people we didn’t know come into the universe and we’ll meet some characters who are now members of the current ‘Yellowstone family,'” Sebastian Roche said. “In ‘1883,’ you saw the genesis of the Dutton family. It was the survival of the family.”
For Darren Mann, who plays Jacob’s great-nephew Jack Dutton, working with Ford and Mirren “was like living my dream come true.”
“One thing about her is she immediately puts you at ease. That’s one of her incredible qualities,” Marley Shelton recalled about the first day of filming with Mirren. “Although working with Dame Helen Mirren – Academy Award winner – is terrifying – she’s wonderful and makes you feel amazing and supported.”
To achieve Ford’s bonafide Western cowboy style, costume designer Janie Bryant tried about 75 hats on the “Indiana Jones” star. “It’s all about his hat,” he said.
“We did a lot for her. All different colors – trying different creases, different brims, different crown heights. It was definitely a process,” Bryant continued. “Taylor was very specific about the type of hat she wanted, too. There was a lot of collaboration with Taylor, with Harrison and myself to create what I call ‘Jacob.'”
