I. Love. This. Woman. And I’m so GLAD that they brought her back for the new Indiana Jones film! Here’s what she had to say about her old/new role:
“She was a very wonderfully written character,” Allen said. “How can you go wrong when you meet a woman in a bar in Nepal and she’s drinking men under the table, yelling at large men in Nepalese and ordering them out of the bar, and when she first sets eyes on Indiana Jones, she socks him in the jaw? It’s a great introduction to the character, and it’s hard to imagine she’s not going to win a lot of fans.”
AH! Love that scene. Now I’m going to have to go and watch it for like the millionth time.
Karen Allen is awesome!
She is amazing! I can’t believe how young she looks. Do you know that she’s 56 years old? More Magazine has a great profile of her in the June issue.
Wow, just discovered this. I wrote an unsolicited script for Starman 2 back in 1998. It was my first script and I quit college to finish it. It’s been gathering dust ever since. I sent it to Jeff Bridges and John carpenter, although I would prefer if Carpenter didn’t direct a sequel, maybe Frank Darabont or someone. I wrote some good f/x sequences and some interesting characters. I’m pretty sure I’ll never be involved, but I’d to see the f/x scene from the beach being incorporated, (Jeff’s manager Neil will know the one, totally plagiarised from another movie, but it would look great on film today). If anyone has any questions, email me at hansenfilm@yahoo.ie and I’ll answer them. (Although I won’t give away any plot points. And yes there is a son and indeed, I actually have the perfect casting suggestion!!
