Calista Flockhart is helping to look after Harrison Ford's terminally ill ex-wife.The 'Ally McBeal' actress, who has been dating the 'Indiana Jones' star for three years, has generously decided to help care for Mary Marquadt, who is in the advanced stages of multiple sclerosis.Mary, 61, who wed Harrison in 1964, is quoted by Brtiain's Grazia magazine as saying: "Harrison has been a true friend and a great love. Calista has been wonderful, too."Harrison - who was married to Mary, with whom he has two children, for 15 years - bought a house for his former wife and paid for it to be specially adapted for her illness.He also pays her medical bills and has hired a housekeeper to look after the home.Mary, who was diagnosed with the degenerative disease five years ago, said: "Harrison has stood by me quietly, asking for nothing in return, through my darkest days. I shall always love him for what he has done."The Hollywood actor - who married second wife Melissa Mathison in 1983 - recently confessed he regretted the breakdown of his marriage to Mary, which ended shortly after the success of 'Star Wars'.He said at the time: "My greatest regret is the failure of my first marriage and the pain it caused. I made mistakes in my youth I'd rather not admit to. I've changed."Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
