And so was Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford, worked as a carpenter, he did it to support his then wife Mary Marquardt and their two children Benjamin and Willard. His initial small time TV roles did not meet errands. He was not a trained carpenter. His first job was to make a pair of tables. He was later hired to build a recording studio for the Brazilian composer Sergio Mendes. Impressed with the job, Mendes recommended him to other actors. Ford built a deck for Sally Kellerman he also worked as a stagehand for the rock band The Doors. Thus he became Carpenter to the Stars.
