Karen Allen on Indiana Jones
We always knew she'd come walking back through our door.
ComingSoon.net didn't have a whip, a fedora or even a line of shots when we sat down for a leisurely lunch with actress Karen Allen, but we did get her to join us on an archeological adventure of sorts, digging through the memories of her life as Indiana Jones' true love, Marion Ravenwood.
And we quickly understood exactly why Dr. Jones - and filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, not to mention a couple generations of moviegoers - fell for her. An engaging storyteller with a winsome personality, Allen clearly relishes her experiences making 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark and its 27-years-later-sequel Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (out on DVD today, Oct. 14), and she unearthed some fascinating insight into her journey - and a definite willingness to return for another adventure at Indy's side now that she's truly his "goddamn partner."
