It shared some scenes of emotion, with Harrison Ford, the face with which the popular culture will always pair it. She, sassy and courageous in the movies, had said to him “I love you“. He, even more arrogant and angry in the space, answered him with a makeshift “I know“. Almost 40 years later, she still respectfully greet him with a kiss on the lips out of the screen. That is what he did in London a year ago, when he described the Star Wars as a "family" and signed a doll Read of a fan.

His struggles with drugs and bipolar disorder became public, his directness with them gave him recognition, and fed part of his career as a writer.

I Admired Dorothy Parker and distinguished himself in this field, not only with his much advertised book of memories released just a month ago, The Princess Diarist, in that has revealed to have had a romance “intense” with Harrison Ford during the filming of the original trilogy of Star Wars, but also with works such as the acclaimed Postcards from the edge (a novel from 1987 with traces of autobiographical in that spoke of drug addiction in the 1970s, or of the relation of the untimely with the mother).
