I too have done my share of searching and was unable to find out either.Matinee Idyll said:Hello again guys, sorry for dissapearing there...
I couldn't find her listed in either the opening or closing credits... t'will always be a mystery...
Aaron H said:Give the girl a silver dollar!
Bingo, kiddo. The primary reason why the bookends were cut from the VHS release (and the soon-to-be DVD) was that they answered too many questions and gave very little wiggle room for Indy IV. Remember, at the time the decision was made the Saucermen and Monkey King scripts were the scripts still being considered by Lucas & Co. and some of the events wouldn't match up...come to think of it, some of the events in Frank's wonderful script also would conflict.
That being said, the bookends are no longer a part of the Indy canon, and should be treated lightly. If Indy's daughter is in the bookends and no where else...then Indy doesn't have a daughter. Unless of course Frank's script is used afterall.
Aaron H said:I think I said that.
Yes, he had a daughter. There was a touching scene where Indy first meets her and doesn't know its his daughter. He's at the college and he thinks she is just a cute student. So he flirts a bit with her, and then Marion walks into the scene with the news of who this cute new student really is (which causes Indy to fight a gag reflex).
Then again, Lucas was the most resistant to the Henry-Elsa tryst. Incest jokes may have been part of why he rejected Darabont's script.Adamwankenobi said:Yep, Lucas definately wrote the story for that script.
Matinee Idyll said:Argh, that be from Ireland, 1916... Aye, that it be. My favourite quote in the episode actually comes from his daughter,
"We'll miss the tea and cookie presentation..."
It seems they were/are combining Eden from Genesis with New Jerusalem from Revalations, since both have the Tree(s) of Life. I have no problem here. After all the powers assigned to the grail (lifted from the peaches in Monkey King), this would likely require less artistic license.Aaron H said:the Garden wasn't on Earth.
What if she's a 'given' on the official website?Aaron H said:If Indy's daughter is in the bookends and no where else...then Indy doesn't have a daughter.
And the secondary reason: watching a cliffhanger is less thrilling when you know the guy's going to live to be 90.Aaron H said:The primary reason why the bookends were cut from the VHS release (and the soon-to-be DVD) was that they answered too many questions and gave very little wiggle room for Indy IV.
Matinee Idyll said:Don't suppose you have Curse of the Jackal or... something?
Hehe, yes... I'll try my best to capture some...
I've still got Princeton 1916, Ireland 1916, London 1916 and Paris 1916 taped off Channel 9 about... 10 years ago.
* sigh * We'll have to have a big weekend of Indy viewin' Violet!
Here be his daughter, sorry... took a photo of the tele, it ain't great. I also took alittle bit of video, will upload soon!

The obvious purpose is to bring together the five Indy 4 scripts by Jeb Stuart (1993), Jeff Boam (1995), Frank Darabont (2003), Jeff Nathanson (2005), and David Koepp (2006). Over the decades they were dispersed by wars, sold off by thieves... soon we will have all five Indy scripts and the Raven will be all powerful! Keep digging, true believers!Finn said:This is an old thread... resurfaced to serve an unknown purpose
