Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart to Receive First Joint Honor
The couple will be recognized for their legendary acting careers and extensive philanthropic work at the upcoming Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai Stardust Ball.
Renowned actors Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are set to receive their first joint award as a couple during the upcoming Stardust Ball. The fundraising event, presented by the Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai, is scheduled to take place on November 18 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
According to the organizing body, the honor celebrates the couple's extraordinary entertainment careers and their longstanding commitment to philanthropy. The celebration highlights both actors' dedication to charitable causes alongside their enduring presence in film and television.
Ford has a decades-long history of activism, particularly focusing on environmental conservation and humanitarian efforts. He joined the board of directors for Conservation International in 1991, where he remains the longest-serving member and currently serves as a vice chair. Furthermore, he received the inaugural E.O. Wilson Legacy Award for Transformative Conservation Leadership from the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation. As an experienced pilot, Ford has also flown search-and-rescue missions, transported medical personnel and supplies during rescue efforts in Haiti, and lent his support to organizations such as Operation Smile, the Special Olympics, and Wings of Hope.
Flockhart has maintained her own extensive history of charitable involvement, primarily concentrating on preventing violence against women and children, supporting animal welfare, and promoting community health. Her philanthropic work includes collaborations with groups like For Goodness Sakes, Peace Over Violence, and the Violence Intervention Program.
The couple, who have been together since around 2002, have kept a relatively low profile throughout much of their marriage. However, they have recently made appearances together at several high-profile events, including the Emmy Awards, the Actor Awards, and the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Professionally, Ford currently stars in the Apple TV+ comedy series "Shrinking," while Flockhart recently appeared in "Feud" and contributed a voice role to "Invincible."
In addition to Ford and Flockhart, the honoree program will feature media mogul Byron Allen, who is slated to receive a humanitarian award. Allen is being recognized for his dedicated commitment to creating opportunities, expanding media representation, and utilizing his platform to uplift underserved communities.
The annual Stardust Ball serves as a major fundraiser for Cedars-Sinai. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Women's Guild Neurology Project and the Women's Guild Distinguished Chair in Pediatrics at the hospital's Guerin Children’s expansion. To date, the Women's Guild has successfully raised more than $70 million for the medical center.
