In a recent interview withPEOPLEduring the season 2 premiere, the 73-year-old actress opened up about her experiences working with the iconic 82-year-old Harrison Ford. She revealed that they’ve forged a sweet bond on set, complete with their own little ritual.
He lets me ride around in his little golf cart that says ‘Cowboy’ on it. He always picks me up and takes me to the stage, which is very generous of him. But I have to say that he is just one of the loveliest, most generous and funny leading men I’ve ever had.
Now that’s what we call a star with true charm!
But that’s not all! Malick playfully noted that Ford also moonlights as her personal sommelier, introducing her to fantastic wines and concocting “really wonderful tequila cocktails”. Reflecting on Ford’s appeal, Malick recalled when he was named PEOPLE’sSexiest Man Alivein 1998:
Harrison, I think the reason he’s had such lasting power, and it doesn’t matter if he’s getting older and a little wrinklier and gray-haired and stuff, it’s the little mischievous smile that he has in everything he does.
She highlights that despite the natural signs of aging—wrinkles and gray hair—Ford’s charm remains unscathed. In other words, while time marches on, the personality of theAmerican Graffitistar shines brighter than any wrinkle could dull.

What I love about this show is it mirrors what so many of us are going through—dealing with unexpected loss and health challenges, and how you choose your family at a certain age. It’s not so much about blood relatives as it is about the friends you want in your life.
