The Princess Diarist

Harrison Ford on Carrie Fisher: ‘One of a Kind… Funny and Emotionally Fearless’

In the “Star Wars” franchise, Fisher starred as Princess Leia while Ford played Han Solo. While they first met in the 1977 original, their romance was established in “Empire Strikes Back.” In a famous scene, before Han Solo got frozen in Carbonite, Leia famously said, “I love you,” to which he responded, “I know.”

Fisher recently released her memoir, “The Princess Diarist,” on Nov. 22. In time for the book’s release, the actress told People that she and Ford — who at the time was a married father of two — had a three-month romantic relationship while filming the sci-fi classic in 1976.
