Call Him a Coward? No Way!: Actor Harrison Ford, who played the tough-guy hero in the Indiana Jones films, accepted substantial undisclosed libel damages Thursday from a British newspaper which alleged he was a coward. Ford’s lawyer, Michael Skrein, told a London court that the News of the World published an article in December, 1988, that alleged Ford behaved in an inconsiderate and arrogant manner on the set of “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” and contemptuous stunt men regarded him as a coward. The Sunday newspaper also accused Ford of causing a serious accident in which people were injured.
