Julia Schlaepfer, Star of ‘1923,’ Shares Her Deeply Emotional Moment With Harrison Ford [Exclusive Interview With Spoilers]

The Season 2 finale of 1923 left many fans with heavy hearts, and the same goes for the cast. One of the most touching moments came from Julia Schlaepfer, who plays Alexandra on the show. Her final scene with legendary actor Harrison Ford was not only emotional on screen, but it also left a lasting impact on her personally.

A Final Scene That Changed Everything

Before Episode 7 aired, Julia spoke about how that emotional moment was filmed. While the ending of her character, Alex, may not have been what fans were hoping for, the scene between her and Harrison Ford struck a deep chord. She described the whole experience as life-changing.

“It was so beautiful and seamless,” Julia shared. “Harrison is one of the best humans I’ve ever met.”

Shooting the Scene Was Physically and Emotionally Tough

On the day of the shoot, things were hectic. Julia had already filmed several other scenes and was physically exhausted. For the final part, her arms and legs were wrapped in bandages as her character was bedridden after childbirth. This made it tough for her to even move.

Because she couldn’t sit in the regular cast area, Harrison Ford came to her instead.

“I couldn’t move because of the bandages,” she explained. “I couldn’t go sit back in the cast chairs with Harrison, but he would come to me.”

Harrison Ford Showed His Kind Side

This small gesture meant a lot to Julia. It showed her how caring Harrison is, both as a co-star and a person. Their final scene together was one filled with empathy, as Alex was about to die after giving birth.

“Harrison gave me so much space and kindness,” she said. “He really stepped in like a father figure, both for Alex and for me that day.”

A Deep Connection On and Off Screen

By the time they reached this part of filming, the cast had already been through an emotional journey. Julia admitted she was feeling broken and tired by then. But somehow, she and Harrison found comfort in each other’s presence.

“We both gave each other something we didn’t know we needed that day,” she said.

She also recalled the powerful moment after the final scene was shot.

“Staring into each other’s eyes when they called cut, we just started crying,” she remembered. “He was holding me, making sure I was okay.”

For Julia, that memory with Harrison Ford will always stay close to her heart. It became one of the most meaningful moments in her acting career.

What’s Next for 1923?

As of now, there’s no official word from Paramount+ about a Season 3 of 1923. However, actor Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, has publicly mentioned that the story wraps up with Season 2.

So while fans may be sad to say goodbye to Alexandra and possibly the entire show, the emotional journey it gave us, especially through moments like Julia and Harrison’s final scene, will remain unforgettable.
