On that day, [Denver Post photographer Steve ] Larson was working inside the newsroom. All the other photographers were out on assignment, he recalled, so an editor told him to run upstairs to the Elbow Room to grab a photo of the three as Kreck and Andrews interviewed them. “It was kind of a dump. There were cups all around. It wasn’t anything posh,” said Larson, who now runs a small newspaper in Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood called The Front Porch. “I think we bought them a soft drink, and we were just sitting there talking. “It was the normalcy of these kids that got me. She (Fisher) displayed a lot of humor, and Harrison Ford didn’t talk as much as the other two.” Kreck said they spoke for about 45 minutes. “They were so young and so enthusiastic and thrilled to be asked to go on a national tour for a movie,” Kreck said. “They were just kids. I think for most of them, it was their first big movie. They were very nice, we laughed and had a good time. Mark Hamill was nice, kinda quiet. She (Fisher) was the peppiest of the bunch and much more willing to talk. I got the impression that he (Ford) was going through the motions.” The trio addressed subjects ranging from their financial stake in the film, to a scandalous story involving Fisher, published in People magazine, to how they got their roles. And they came hungry, according to the story Andrews wrote about the interview, which ran June 15, 1977.
