Early life
Ford was born on July 13, 1942, at Chicago’s Swedish Covenant Hospital to Dorothy (née Dora Nidelman), a homemaker and former radio actress, and Christopher Ford (born John William Ford), an advertising executive and a former actor. A younger brother, Terence, was born in 1945. Harrison Ford’s paternal grandparents, Florence Veronica Niehaus and John Fitzgerald Ford, were of German and Irish Catholic descent, respectively. His maternal grandparents, Anna Lifschutz and Harry Nidelman, were Jewish immigrants from Minsk, Belarus (at that time a part of the Russian Empire). When asked in which religion he was raised, Ford jokingly responded, “Democrat”. He has also said that he feels “Irish as a person, but I feel Jewish as an actor”.
