In the weeks before she died in December 2016, Carrie Fisher was doing her usual blend of honest and brash interviews to promote her book, 

The Princess Diarist. In the book, and in her interviews, the late writer and actress spoke of a three-month-long affair she’d had with Harrison Ford on the set of Star Wars, 

when she was 19 and he was a 33-year-old married father of two.

 In his new book, My Girls: A Lifetime with Carrie and Debbie, Todd Fisher, Carrie’s younger brother, writes that his sister regretted telling the story of her Star Wars tryst.

In November 2016, Carrie told People, “It was so intense. 

It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.”

 Per the Daily Mail, Todd writes that his mother, Debbie Reynolds, had no idea about the affair before Carrie shared it with the world, and her disapproval made Carrie regret sharing it.

“You’re right. I shouldn’t have told that story,” Carrie later told their mother, according to Todd.

Carrie and Reynolds, who died one day apart at the end of 2016, had a complicated relationship, as anyone who’s seen Postcards from the Edge will understand. Todd writes that also in the last few months of 2016, Carrie was angry at her mother for trying to plan a lavish 60th birthday party for her. Carrie was in London filming Star Wars: The Last Jedi while promoting her book, and didn’t have time to come back to L.A. for a party.

Reynolds, who had a stroke the previous year, was throwing herself into the planning of the party, so Carrie was eventually convinced to come back.

“She was so beautiful, and of course I dreamed of one day looking like her,” Fisher wrote in her memoir, Wishful Drinking. “It was then that I knew with the profound certainty of a ten year old that I would not be, and was in no way now, the beauty that my mother was. I was a clumsy-looking and intensely awkward, insecure girl . . . I decided then that I’d better develop something else—if I wasn’t going to be pretty, maybe I could be funny or smart.”

Per the Mail, Todd writes that, in another example of intense love and dedication, his mother wanted to die with Carrie: “Debbie Reynolds willed herself right off this planet to personally see to it that Carrie would never be alone.”
