MORE FEATURES INDIANA JONES COMEBACK GIRL KAREN ALLEN!

Talk about surprising phone calls.

As Marion Ravenwood in 1981s Raiders of the Lost Arc, Karen Allen made a huge impact in the first installment of the mega-franchise.

Fast-forward to a call from Stephen Spielberg.

“Steven said, I guess you know why I’m calling,” Allen says. “And what’s funny is that his wife, Kate Capshaw, had just bought a lot of my knitwear for Christmas presents…

I thought he was going to tell me he loved the presents!

Instead Spielberg said, “Haven’t you been watching television? We’re doing another film, and you’re in it.”

And it’s not a cameo.

“It was big, beautiful part! I was jumping up and down.”
