Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart to Share Their First Joint Award as a Couple
The Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai Stardust Ball will hand Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart its Icon Honors this November — the first time the longtime couple has been recognized together for their careers and philanthropy.
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart will receive the Icon Honors at the Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai Stardust Ball on November 18 in Beverly Hills, marking the first time the couple has been given a joint award, according to reporting on the announcement. The honor recognizes both their individual careers and their philanthropic work, rather than any single project.
Ford and Flockhart have been together since 2002 and married in 2010, a relationship that has quietly outlasted most Hollywood pairings of their generation while both kept working steadily — Ford across the Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises and an expanding slate of prestige TV, Flockhart most recently in supporting film and television roles following her star turn on "Ally McBeal." Spanish outlet Espinof's coverage of the honor notes the award is specifically framed around their partnership rather than treating it as an extension of either of their solo accolades.
A night with two honorees
Ford and Flockhart won't be the only names recognized at the Stardust Ball. Media mogul Byron Allen is set to receive the evening's humanitarian award at the same event, which benefits Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Women's Guild and has become one of the steadier fixtures on the late-year Hollywood philanthropy calendar.
THEIR FIRST JOINT HONOR AFTER MORE THAN TWO DECADES TOGETHER
For Ford, the Icon Honors adds to a run of career-capping recognition in recent years, including his Critics Choice Career Achievement Award, where he used his speech to publicly credit Flockhart's support through his career's later chapters. Friends of the couple have described the joint honor as an overdue acknowledgment that their relationship itself has become part of the Hollywood institutional memory.
What's next
The Stardust Ball is expected to draw a dense turnout of industry figures when it convenes next month, with organizers typically keeping the program light on formal speeches and heavy on tribute videos. Neither Ford nor Flockhart has publicly commented beyond the organizers' announcement, and neither is expected to attend other major events before the ceremony.
