Harrison shared George's spiritual inclinations, and from the mid-1970s her influence was reflected in a renewed optimism in his music. At their Friar Park home in December 1999, when she overpowered a knife-wielding intruder who had repeatedly stabbed George, her actions were recognized as having saved her husband's life. Among Harrison's film projects, her production of "Concert for George" won the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video in 2005, and her co-production of Scorsese's 2011 documentary "" won an Emmy Award in the category "Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special". She authored books to accompany both these films, and in 2017 compiled a revised edition of George's 1980 autobiography, "I, Me, Mine". She is the mother of Dhani Harrison, also a musician.
