As Woody Harrelson told the Hollywood Reporter, he first met his future wife, Laura Louie, on the set of “Cheers.” Harrelson recalled, “This media workshop came to see ‘Cheers.’ I was there eight years, and in all that time, we only talked to one group, and it just happened to be this group. UCLA put it on, but it was people from all over. And at some point, I was like, ‘Hey, does anybody here have secretarial skills? ‘Cause I could really use an assistant.’ And this young woman, Laura Louie, raised her hand.”
From there, continued Harrelson, he invited Louie to meet him at his home the next day. Things worked out between them, Harrelson told the Hollywood Reporter, so he hired her. “She became my assistant the day after I met her and for the next three years,” he said.
The two were not romantically involved at the time that Louie worked as Harrelson’s assistant, and Harrelson added that he wasn’t sure if he should act on the feelings that he developed for Louie. When he eventually got up the courage to do so, he said, Louie responded, “Woody, I’ve been in love with you for the last two and a half years.” Based on this and the knowledge that they were together for 20 years prior to their marriage, they must have met around the time that Harrelson’s marriage to Nancy Simon ended in 1986.
