This is a pretty odd thing to find in an old address book. It has no value. It's just stuck in my old book with names of people I never see anymore. Of course, I never saw this particular person.
The first phonebook I had in Los Angeles included this page. Right after the first Star Wars movie came out my friend and I decided to look up the actors in the phonebook, sure we wouldn't find any of them. We were wrong. We got to "Ford Harrison" and we both sat open mouth stunned and said, "Can't be!" Of course we then piled in the car and headed out in search of the house, which was just a few miles away. You'll note that I've deleted some of the identifiable numbers from both the address and phone number. No sense giving the people with those numbers grief today. And no, Harrison doesn't live there anymore.
The house was nice enough, one of his sons out front playing with a basketball. But what made us laugh, and is the image I can still remember, were the doors. Lots of doors leaning against a wall. Apparently Mr. Ford was not sure the whole movie Star Wars thing was going to work out and he was keeping product around for his construction work.
Next phonebook that came out...no Harrison Ford. He's unlisted now baby!
