“In 1979, a memorable party took place when Carrie Fisher had rented Eric’s place while she was filming *The Empire Strikes Back*, but at the time, Eric was in Tunisia filming *The Life of Brian*. The fun began when Eric returned to London to catch a football match, only to drop by his place and find a lively gathering.

At the party, the energy was electric, with some iconic faces in attendance. Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford were already there, mixing with other Hollywood stars, and the scene took on an even more legendary air when it was revealed that The Rolling Stones were recording just two blocks away. Naturally, they made their way to the party, adding a touch of rock-and-roll royalty to the already star-studded gathering.” - History Pictures
