Provenance: Star Wars – Harrison Ford memorabilia

The vendor recollects that in 1976 she had an advertisement in The Sunday Times “Flat to Let”. She and her husband were looking for a lodger in their home. Harrison Ford came to see the flat and he liked it. He was an excellent tenant, and very tidy. The rent was paid by the film company.

The vendor didn’t know anything about film stars or celebrities and didn’t know who Harrison Ford was. She and her husband lived on the 4 bottom floors of a house in Elgin Crescent, Notting Hill, London with the separate flat occupied by Harrison on the top two floors. One day their cleaner met Harrison and fainted, they were told the next day by a friend of the cleaner that she had fainted because she had never met a film star before. The vendor told them that they had someone called Harrison Ford as a tenant and admitted that she didn’t know he was a film star, when she subsequently told this to Harrison he found it amusing.

Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, and Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker visited several times, the vendor didn’t know who they were either and didn’t even know Mark’s name - just calling him “the boy” as that’s what they referred to him as. Harrison’s brother-in-law stayed for a while too. He was an American academic.

Our vendor, husband, and Harrison had a great time together, they all used to sit in the garden drinking. One day her husband took her to a garden centre and bought a lot of plants for the garden because Harrison had given them money to pay for the plants. Summer 1976 was a great time, with Harrison even attending her son’s first birthday party in the garden!

“He was an ideal tenant! It really was a fun time.”
