$118 million for Calista Flockhart?
That's how much Harrison Ford's divorce settlement was with his now former wife (according to a report on the radio). It's purportedly the largest divorce settlement in Hollywood.

I hate Hollywood news and gossip since I really could not care less about anything....
BUT, $118 Million???? What the hell did that frog faced woman do to deserve $118 million???? I mean, I'm all for fair settlements for spouses....but there is nothing she did to deserve HALF. Ford was in some of the biggest and best movies EVER. She was in stupid Ally McBeal. What an injustice.

You've got it all wrong... Ford was married to another woman, but has gotten a divorce from her (and is now with Flockhart). The $118 million was the settlement for his ex-wife.

Somehow I doubt that the judge considered the quality and quantity of movies when he was ruling.
And I for one would be appalled if that constituted valid criteria for a divorce settlement.

Uh, thread title needs to be changed. It's not Calista Flockhart.

Out of curiosity, does that $118 million represent half of their assets? If so, I would agree that it's a travesty. If it were 25% or so, I'd say it's more reasonable, even though the number is staggering.

Melissa Mathison. And among other things, she wrote E.T.

Probably pretty close. They were married a long time. California is a community property state.

He means " in exchange for Calista Flockhart". It's tongue-in-cheek. But you have to know the facts to get the joke.

Good for Ms. Mathison. Given HF's recent behavior, I think she deserves every penny.  There used to be a time when you'd at least wait until the divorce was final before you started openly dating again.
I heard she also gets a share of any future residuals he receives from any of the movies he made while they were married, as well. |

Yeah $118 million is a lot. But since it's roughly half, that means Ford's still got $118 million himself. Since they've been married for a long time, this is one of those instances where she deserves the cash (not like Anna Nicole Smith).
And hey, Ford's like, what, sixty? I think he can live comfortably off of that 118 million until it's his time to go.
But dear god, man, you can do better than Calista!  |

With his recent duds, and now the divorce settlement, maybe HF will get a "move on" with Indy IV.
Come to think of it....$118 million is probably more than what the last 2 HF movies made at the box office.
