UPDATED Some news outlets are saying that the leather jacket sold for $94,400. However, on ebay it still shows the final bid at $80,000. Either way that's alot of change.

 | Harrison on the cover of Saga Magazine. He also gives a rare interview (nowadays this is) and here is a portion of it.
After scorning the bright lights of Los Angeles for years in favour of the wilds of an 800-acre ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, he is suddenly Mr Hollywood. How did it happen? I was interested in changing my life, he says simply. I have always had the ability to change and to become other people through my acting. I took a good look at myself and decided that I wanted something different from the way I was living. read the rest |

Just to keep visitors in the loop on site happenings.
First of all I want to welcome Shirley to the site and soon she will be contributing news and such very shortly. Shirley (NWGal from the forum) has been a long time supporter and contributor to the site and forum and has offered several times in the past to help with the main site. I have taken her up on this offer and heaven help this poor woman ;)
With Firewall coming out and Indy 4 filming soon, Shirley's help will be greatly needed and appreciated. This will be a new venture for me as I have never had anyone put content on the site but I have complete faith that Shirley will do this like an old pro.
Welcome aboard Shirley
Recent site updates
DVD screen grabs section in the gallery has been neglected but that will be changing. Over the weekend I added some caps from three movies and for the next couple of weeks will be adding more from other movies. For now enjoy these:
Air Force One
Force 10 From Navarone
Frantic
Links page has been updated with a section for Harrison sites. And here you thought this was the only one on the net! Just kidding so relax. Not only does this section have links to other terrific Harrison fan sites it also has links to Harrison profile pages.
New Forum feature for members only. The Jukebox section currently has three Harrison related songs for your listening pleasure and soon will have more.
Site outage problems
Every now and then I get emails from visitors who are getting error messages. I contacted the site host and the problem is due to them transferring the site over to a new server and unfortunately it will take time for the error messages to disappear. These happen to me also on occasion and this problem can't go away soon enough! My apologies to everyone and I just ask for your patience during all this.

Today Harrison turns 63 and speaking for everyone from the forum I want to wish him a very happy birthday and here's hoping he does not collapse while blowing out all those candles.
All in good fun folks and while you are visiting why not head over to the forum to read some birthday wishes from some of his fans.
Right now only four people have posted something which is rather disappointing and is far from being an indicator of his fan base but I am hoping other members will join in by not only wishing Harrison a happy birthday but also sharing some of their favorite Harrison movie moments.
Also, today there will be a scheduled chat throughout the day and evening where fans can get together and just chat it up. I will be in there off and on but mostly in the late evening. Hope to see you there. Chat room

Want Harrison delivering that Indy box-set you ordered from Amazon.com? Beginning tomorrow and for the next 10 days some lucky customers may very well get this opportunity. Head to the forum to read more and yes, I'll have my mother order the Indy box-set as she needs this in her own collection. :)
Music from the Movies has posted that two time Oscar nominated composer Alan Silvestri will be doing the score for Firewall. Alan is noted for his work on other motion pictures such as What Lies Beneath, Cast Away, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl plus many more. Check out his profile over at IMDB.
