My Secret Romance with Harrison Ford
People Magazine
“Mark was 24, I was 19 and he [Harrison] was 33. He was like the big man on campus. You looked at him and you said to yourself, ‘He’s going to be a star.‘” — Carrie Fisher

“Well when I went on the film I really thought, I saw him and he looked like a movie star. I met him in LA and read with him and stuff and was too nervous to see him so when we got on the set I saw him and he was sitting in the Millennium Falcon… and I thought he looked like one of those movie stars… It wasn’t like you get a crush on that person.”

Fisher says the experience of acting with Ford hadn’t changed (…). “He can still make me uncomfortable and comfortable faster than anyone I know or don’t know.” They also found time to relax. “Adorable is not a word you would associate with Harrison, but after a few beers, he’s the most adorable person in the world.” (x)
Love their snark
The trio became inseparable–Ford and Fisher particularly so. Whenever anyone couldn’t find Harrison, you’d say, “Have you tried Carrie Fisher’s changing room?”
