Trivia abounds about Kamloops’ connection to Hollywood
KAMLOOPS — Harrison Ford, in his own words, is a “schmuck.”
He’s been in the news lately, for the wrong reason — getting in a scrape with one of his airplanes as he came close to an airliner while he was landing at a California airport. Audio has now been released in which he tells the control tower, “I’m the schmuck that landed on the taxiway.”
While the actor hasn’t impressed U.S. aviation officials with his flying skills, quite a few people in Kamloops remember him much more fondly.
He’s just one of many movie stars who have come through here, and while we aren’t exactly Hollywood North in this neck of the woods, the film industry is a pretty big deal.
