The actress revealed that she had a three-month affair with Harrison Ford, who was married to Mary Marquardt at the time, while production was under way on the first Star Wars movie.
The relationship between Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia and Harrison Ford’s Han Solo was one of the driving forces of the original Star Wars trilogy, which carried over to this year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Carrie Fisher added that the affair ended after the production wrapped on the first Star Wars movie.
Carrie Fisher now reveals that, nearly 40 years ago on the set, as a 19-year-old actress, she actually had a real-life love affair with Harrison Ford, who was then a 33-year-old married father with two children.
