The Life of Hollywood Legend Harrison Ford

During the filming of Star Wars between 1976 and 1977, he began a brief affair with co-star Carrie Fisher while production took place in England. At the time, he was married to Mary Marquardt, and Fisher was 19 years old.

The relationship remained private during production and after the film’s release. It became publicly known decades later when Fisher described it in her 2016 memoir and related interviews, prompting renewed discussion of events that occurred during the original trilogy’s filming.
