CLASSIC INDY: THE FLIGHT FROM CLUB OBI-WAN!


She's burnt two fingers and she's cracked a nail! No, cabaret entertainer and actress Willie Scott, always on the lookout for a great lifestyle, is not used to being threatened, shot at and carried along/hurled out a multi-storey building window, as her unique entrance into the mad, crazy, dangerous world of Indiana Jones begins, in this great image from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Though a controversial character with critics and feminists at the time of original release, especially in contrast to the previous film's strong-willed Marion Ravenwood, Willie Scott has become more appreciated over time, thanks to the witty repartee she/actress Kate Capshaw shared with Harrison Ford as Indy, in dialogue generated by the classic film loving, talented script writing husband/wife duo Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz. Always enthusiastic and a great behind the scenes raconteur, AFICIONADO was sorry to hear of Miss Katz's passing back in 2018.
