Fisher said she decided to come clean about the affair after coming across ‘angst-ridden’ journals she had kept from the time.
“It’s been 40 years,” she said.
According to People, Ford was given a heads-up about Fisher’s new book, The Princess Diarist, which will include entries about the affair and received a draft copy, but he didn’t respond to the magazine’s request for comment.
Fisher writes that she was wracked by self-doubt after spending her first night with Ford, following a birthday party for George Lucas.
“I looked over at Harrison. A hero’s face — a few strands of hair fell over his noble, slightly furrowed brow,” she writes.
“How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me?”.
