"I wasn't raised that way but when you're on location everything is permitted." Carrie shared that it all started when Harrison offered her a ride while she was tipsy and she was surprised. "How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me? ... I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him. He was kind." she wrote in the excerpt of the book.
After 40 years, she recently discovered her long forgotten journals she kept during the filming of the first "Star Wars," Carrie informed Harrison of her plan to publish it, knowing Harrison is incredibly private, and he just said "Lawyer," hopefully he was just joking.
