Indiana Jones: Indy's Love Life? It's Complicated

Raiders of the Lost Ark featured a rekindled romance between Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and fiery bar owner Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), who had first fallen for Indy as a teenager. Indy didn't dump her in the next film in the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom since it was technically a prequel, but he was running around with annoying Willie Scott (played by Kate Capshaw who would later become Mrs. Steven Spielberg). The third movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, had Indy and his father (Sean Connery) both falling prey to treacherous Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody). By the fourth film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indy finally reunits with Marion — who took him back even though he had dumped her at the altar years before.
