What happened next was this: Harrison and I had dinner with Mark Hamill and Koo Stark and then we went back to my flat! “Do you want to come in?” I asked. I couldn’t help myself because Harrison was just so good-looking and a real dreamboat.
It was as if I was there and not there, if you can understand what I’m trying to say. Before I knew it, I was in the back of a taxi snogging Harrison and telling him I had always loved him. I don’t drink because drink and me just don’t mix but this time I did drink – and then Harrison made me smoke some dope that was a lot stronger than what I was used to. And I can promise you that I never had any intention of having an affair with him because I just wasn’t the type of girl to have an affair with a married man. I know Harrison was 14 years older than me and married with two kids. So there I was with my stupid Princess Leia haircut – we used to call them the Buns of Navarone – running about the set trying to be a movie star and hoping that one day Harrison Ford might notice me. My therapist does tell me I have a tendency to overshare. If you’d told me that grown men would be masturbating over pictures of me in a metal bikini, I’d never have believed you. I hope you do too! I can honestly say that none of us knew how big the movie was going to be. I like the repetition in that sentence: “star in Star Wars”. I was just 19, had only had a bit part in Shampoo when George cast me to star in Star Wars. So I thought I’d share them with you to make you like me. I was looking through my storeroom the other day and I found these diaries I wrote when I was making Star Wars. Thing is, I know that asking people to love me the whole time usually puts people off but I just can’t help myself. Have I said that? It means a lot to me that you don’t. And as I was the only person playing Princess Leia, only I really know how crazy it was. I don’t think anyone who wasn’t playing Princess Leia can quite appreciate just how crazy a time it was. Anyway, playing Princess Leia was like a crazy time.
