close Video 'Star Wars' star Mark Hamill says co-star Carrie Fisher was ‘charming’ and ‘brutally frank’ Mark Hamill praised his "Star Wars" co-star Carrie Fisher during his speech at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. He reminisced about the first time they met, saying all his expectations were "obliterated." Carrie Fisher and actor and director Griffin Dunne shared an unusual and deep friendship.
The pair were onetime roommates in New York City, as Dunne was a working actor and Fisher was about to land her breakout role in "Star Wars." In his new memoir, "The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir," available Tuesday, Dunne details their friendship, including his claim that she lost her virginity to him while dating another man. In an excerpt published in "The Sunday Times," Dunne wrote, "First of all, let me cut to the chase and say that Carrie never became my girlfriend.
She knew, long before I did, that being lovers would diminish our possibilities. Carrie was a virgin when we met, and she lived for every lurid detail of my own sexual encounters: from my first kiss to postcoital anxieties I shared with no one but her. Her curiosity was so forensic that I felt like a cadaver undergoing an autopsy.
" Griffin Dunne, a friend of the late Carrie Fisher, claims in his new memoir that she lost her virginity to him though they were just friends and no romantic relationship developed. (Patrick McMullan/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images) PAUL SIMON SAYS HIS 'WHIRLWIND' MAR.
