Indiana Jones/Karen Allen

Now, I know you've heard of Indiana Jones and heard the "rousing adventure theme" (quote my TV's subtitles) that goes along with the movie. They're all really great movies, and the very first one came out when my mom was about 15 or 16. She went and saw it, and she loved it, along with everyone else who had seen it. I had never seen Indy on the screen in my life, until this Saturday, when my mom rented it the first one, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (I had originally wanted National Treasure 2, but it was sold out for the second week in a row). I'm really glad I ended up watching it, because it was a really good movie! My favorite character was Marion Ravenwood, aka Karen Allen. She was 30 when she made the movie, and she's currently 57. She was really pretty and really funny and spunky in the movie, and I admire her for that. Karen was unaware that she would be in "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" until Steven Spielberg called her one day and said, "Guess what, Karen! You're in the movie!" So, she still plays Marion Ravenwood, an older version, but this time there's a twist. A guy named Mutt Williams (played by Shia LaBeouf) comes to Indy and takes him to a camp where a Mutt's mother, Marion Ravenwood, is being held prisoner. Then, Marion reveals to Indy that Mutt is his son. I was like, WHOA....Anyway, you should definately rent the movie if you get a chance, remember, the first one!!!!!!!!!!!
PS-Anything you hear about Karen Allen being the same person as Margot Kidder is NOT TRUE!!! I've looked at pictures and they are NOT they same person. It's just a stupid conspiracy.
