Carrie Fisher once asked Harrison Ford to sing during her Oscars tribute if she died before he did.
The “Star Wars” actress died last month at the age of 60. She had a heart attack on a plane bound for Los Angeles from London.
Fisher — who once wrote she wanted her obituary to say she “drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra” — told Rebel Force Radio she once put her strange request to Ford.
“I saw him on Oscar night at some party,” she said. ” And I asked him – you know how they have the reel on all the people who how died? I asked him if he would be in my death reel, and if he would sing. It’s just something I want.
“Because they did that thing with John Hughes, they brought out all these actors who worked with him,”she said. “So I just figured they’ll bring out, depending on, of course, when it happens, there’s a lot of people they can bring out. He’s going to sing ‘Melancholy Wookie.’”
She was asked if she’d ever heard Ford sing.
“No, and I don’t think we’re missing much,” she said, according to ABC News.
A spokesperson for the Academy told ABC News that “as far as we know” Fisher will “most likely” be included in the In Memoriam segment at the upcoming Oscars, but there’s no plans for a separate tribute at this time.
The Academy Awards air Feb. 26 on ABC.
