\tLong before running Yellowstone ranch in Taylor Sheridan’s new \u201cYellowstone\u201d spinoff series \u201c1923,\u201d Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren first played husband and wife in the 1986 Peter Weir movie \u201cThe Mosquito Coast.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cWhen we first worked together, he was a huge movie star and I was like nobody,\u201d Mirren told variety <\/em>with a laugh at the red carpet premiere of \u201c1923\u201d on Friday night. \u201cSo I was very intimidated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBy 1986, Ford had already portrayed Han Solo in the original \u201cStar Wars\u201d trilogy and starred in two \u201cIndiana Jones\u201d features. <\/p>\n

\n

\tShe continued, \u201cI learned a lot from him because I hadn’t done a lot. I had done a lot of theater at that point, [but] I hadn’t done a lot of movies. So I watched him and he taught me a great deal about film acting that, to this day, I’m still using.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI admired her work and her person then, and I hold the same degree of admiration for her,\u201d Ford said about Mirren. \u201cShe She’s just a lovely person, so it’s been both a professional pleasure and also a personal pleasure to be able to work with her again.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\tIn the \u201cYellowstone\u201d prequel series, the actors star as Jacob and Cara Dutton, a couple managing a family farm in 1920’s Montana while facing hardships during a period of Western Expansion, Prohibition and the Great Depression.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cWe’re going to see people who we didn’t know about come into the universe and we are going to recognize certain characters who are now members of the present-day ‘Yellowstone’ family,\u201d Sebastian Roch\u00e9 said. \u201cIn ‘1883,’ you saw the genesis of the Dutton family. This is the survival of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tFor Darren Mann, who plays Jacob’s great-nephew Jack Dutton, working with Ford and Mirren \u201cwas just like living my dream in reality.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cOne thing about her is she immediately puts you at ease. That’s one of her incredible qualities, \u201dMarley Shelton recalled about her first day filming with Mirren. \u201cEven though it could be intimidating to work with Dame Helen Mirren \u2014 Academy Award winner \u2014 she’s so incredible and just makes you feel wonderful and supported.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\tTo achieve Ford’s bonafide Western cowboy style, costume designer Janie Bryant tried approximately 75 hats on the \u201cIndiana Jones\u201d star. \u201cIt’s all about his hat,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cWe made so many for him. All the different colors \u2014 trying the different creases, the different brims, the different crown heights. It was definitely a process,\u201d Bryant continued. \u201cTaylor is also very specific about the kind of hat that he likes, too. There was a lot of collaboration with Taylor, with Harrison and myself to create what I call the ‘Jacob.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201c1923\u201d premieres on Paramount+ Dec. 19. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
