1923 Star Actress Shares Emotional Encounter with Harrison Ford

The Season 2 finale of 1923 was a tearjerker for fans and the cast alike. I recently had the opportunity to chat with Julia Schlaepfer, who portrays Alexandra on the show. Alex’s fate may not have been what fans expected, but her performance in the final scene with Harrison Ford was truly heart-wrenching.

Julia shared with me how shooting that particular scene was a whirlwind experience. Leading up to it, she had already filmed other intense moments. To add to the challenge, her legs and arms were bandaged up, restricting her movement. Despite this, Harrison Ford’s true kindness shone through.

On the day of shooting, Julia couldn’t move around freely due to her bandages, but Harrison made sure to come to her whenever he could. She described the experience as beautiful and seamless, emphasizing that Harrison is one of the best individuals she has ever met.

The emotional scene between Alex and Harrison’s character was one of deep empathy and connection, just moments before Alex’s character passed away after giving birth. Julia mentioned that Ford, knowing the weight of the scene, provided her with space, kindness, and grace, taking on a fatherly figure role both on and off screen.

Julia shared that she felt a sense of camaraderie and attachment to Ford during that poignant moment. Looking back, she considers this interaction with Ford as one of the most memorable and impactful moments of her acting career.

As for the future of the show, Paramount+ has not confirmed if there will be a Season 3 of 1923. Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, has indicated that the series concludes with Season 2.

Overall, Julia’s experience working with Harrison Ford on the set of 1923 was not only professionally rewarding but also personally significant. It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of storytelling and the bonds created in the process.
