Harrison Ford To Be Honored In Beverly Hills

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Harrison Ford will receive the Paley Honors Award next month at the Paley Center for Media's annual fall gala, joining fellow honorees Melissa McCarthy, Goldie Hawn and producer Greg Berlanti.

The Dec. 3 gala will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The award is the Paley Center's highest distinction and recognizes landmark contributions to and lasting impact on the media industry, according to the center.

"Harrison Ford's landmark performances have brought some of entertainment's most memorable characters to life and established him as a global icon whether playing action heroes or the everyman," Paley Center President and CEO Maureen J. Reidy said.

Ford is known for playing Han Solo in the "Star Wars" films and Indiana Jones in the "Indiana Jones" franchise. His television work includes Jacob Dutton in the "Yellowstone" prequel "1923" and Dr. Paul Rhoades in "Shrinking."

His performance in "Shrinking" has earned him Primetime Emmy, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Critics Choice Award nominations, according to the Paley Center. Ford received the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award earlier this year.

McCarthy will be honored for a career that includes "Gilmore Girls," "Mike & Molly," "Bridesmaids" and "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"

Hawn's credits include "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In," "Cactus Flower," "Private Benjamin," "Goldie" and "Goldie & Liza: Together."

Berlanti will be recognized for his work as a writer, director and producer on such series as "Dawson's Creek," "Everwood," "Brothers & Sisters," "Arrow," "The Flash," "You," "Riverdale" and "The Flight Attendant."

The event will include tributes to the four honorees and benefit the Paley Center's educational programs and preservation of the Paley Archive, a collection of more than 160,000 publicly accessible television and radio titles.
