Carrie Fisher’s colourful love life… from singer-songwriter Paul Simon to comedy legend Dan Aykroyd

HEARTFELT tributes are pouring in for Star Wars star Carrie Fisher who has died days after suffering a heart attack on a flight from London to LA.

The Princess Leia actress lived a colourful life both on and off the screen, and enjoyed relationships with some of the biggest names in the music and film industries.

Earlier this year Fisher claimed in her autobiography The Princess Diarist that she enjoyed a three-month affair with Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford.

She alleged she enjoyed the fling  with the Han Solo actor whilst filming Star Wars in 1976.

Fisher, who was 60 when she died this morning, revealed she felt guilty about the revelation in her last interview on UK TV.

Between 1977 and 1983 she was in and on and off relationship with singer-songwriter Paul Simon from Simon and Garfunkel.

They married in 1983 and their relationship was said to have been intense and partly-stemmed from shared experiences of depression, according to Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon by Peter Ames Carlin.

The biography claims Simon and Fisher continued to dated on an off for about 10 years after they divorced a year later in 1984.

They are said to have finally stopped seeing each other after they went on a psychedelic trip to the Amazon rainforest.

In 1980 Fisher was briefly engaged to Canadian actor and comedian Dan Akroyd who proposed on the site of The Blues Brother movie which they both appeared in.

Fisher said: “We had rings, we got blood tests, the whole shot. But then I got back together with Paul Simon.”

Simon later wrote the song “Hearts and Bones” about his relationship with the actress.

The actress later had a relationship with Bryan Lourd – a talent scout and the principal of the Creative Artists Agency.

The pair were together between 1991 and 194 and had Fisher’s only child.

Fisher said she felt “humiliated” when Lourd left her for a man after coming out as a homosexual.

She talked openly about the break-up and said: ““People ask if it lessens the blow that he left me for a man because it’s a rejection of my gender and so isn’t personal. “But I don’t care what people say – I was humiliated and betrayed and I believed I’d somehow messed up.

I don’t know if I believed I made him gay, but I’d failed and that’s all that really counts.”

The pair’s child Billie Lourd has grown up to be an actress herself and played Chanel #3 in comedy horror show Scream Queens.

Fisher often refers to Bryan Lourd as her second husband in interviews but the pair were never legally married.

The Star Wars actress also appeared in movies such as Shampoo, Hannah and Her Sisters, and When Harry Met Sally, and wrote the semi-autobiographical novel Postcards from the Edge.

She also wrote the autobiographical one-woman play and its non-fiction book Wishful Drinking.

Fisher lad a close relationship with singer-songwriter James Blunt while he was working on his album Back to Bedlam in 2003.

Blunt spent a lot of time at Fisher’s house while he was recording the album.

When Vanity Fair’s George Wayne asked if Fisher if their relationship was sexual she said: “Absolutely not, but I did become his therapist.

“He was a soldier.

“This boy has seen awful stuff.

“Every time James hears fireworks or anything like that, his heart beats faster, and he gets ‘fight or flight.’

“You know, he comes from a long line of soldiers dating back to the 10th century.

“He would tell me these horrible stories.

“He was a captain, a reconnaissance soldier.

“I became James’ therapist.

“So it would have been unethical to sleep with my patient.”

In February 2005 Republican media advisor R. Gregory Stevens was found dead in Fisher’s California home.

The final autopsy revealed the cause of death to be “cocaine and oxycodone use”.

The pair were close friends but it was never confirmed if they were in a relationship.

Fisher claimed Stevens’ ghost haunted her mansion.

She said: “I was a nut for a year… and in that year I took drugs again.”
