Karen Allen is back
Karen Allen, the beautiful Marion Ravenwood in the first Indiana Jones film, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, is back.
Allen was working at her textile studio in the Massachusetts when she got a call from the director:
“And Steven said, ‘I guess you know why I’m calling,’ and I said, ‘No, I don’t!’ And he said, ‘we’re gonna make the fourth Indiana Jones film, and we’ve written this wonderful part for you,’ you could’ve knocked me over with a feather.”
Now, with 56, she found herself reprising the roll of Marion, back on the set with her old buddies, including Harrison Ford.
Braver asked her:
“There was great chemistry between you and Harrison in the first film,”; “Did you feel that again this time?”
And she answered:
“I did, very much so,”, “from the first day we started to shoot. And it’s just great to be able to pick it up so seamlessly.”
Harrison Ford seems to strongly admire Karen, according to him:
“She was the one person who made me feel nostalgic about it all, (doing the film again)”
“She’s always been up for whatever the boys were up for,” - “And she never complains. I’ve never seen her down. She’s just great to be around.”
So how has Marion changed in this new film?
Can’t wait to see the new Indiana Jones 27 years after it has started…
Love,
Mary
