Carrie Fisher admits she'll 'always love' Harrison Ford

Carrie Fisher has admitted she’ll always hold a flame for her former lover Harrison Ford.

The actress recently revealed she had an affair with the movie star in her book The Princess Diarist while on the set of the Star Wars film.

Although the affair only lasted for a few months, Carrie (who played Princess Leia) says she’ll always “feel something” for Harrison (who played Han Solo).

“Yes, I love him,” she told the Guardian. “I’ll always feel something for him. “

In her book, Carries says she and Harrison first had sex following a birthday party for director George Lucas, because the actress, who was 19 at the time, was "wine-sodden" and Harrison offered to drive her home.

Harrison, who was 33 years old at the time and married to his college sweetheart Mary Marquardt, later split with his wife - but Carrie claims their divorce "had nothing to do with me."

"It was so intense," the 60-year-old actress said of their three-month long affair.

Carrie drew upon journals she had written as a teen through which she spoke about her unrequited love with Harrison Ford.

“I don’t think, until now, he knew the intensity of my feelings,” she told the newspaper. “Even in the diary I don’t like to admit it because it’s a failure. No it’s not a failure – it’s unreciprocated love. Which I guess is a type of failure.”

“I told him I was writing the book, and I would give it to him and if he didn’t like anything in it I would take it out, and he seemed surprised at that. Then I called him and said I’m going to send it to you, and I did and I never heard from him,” she says.

Harrison, who is now married to actress Calista Flockhart, is yet to publicly comment on the relationship.
