Karen Allen’s Feet

Click To Enlarge Feet

Back when Indiana Jones was clashing with teutonic Raiders and discovering Lost Arks, Karen Allen was pretty hot stuff. Maybe even more so in the iconic National Lampoon’s Animal House. That’s because Allen, it always struck us, had that date rape-face with the twisted smile and eyes lost somewhere between clouds of stardust and the outer reaches of the universe. But these latest pics of Allen, wearing ceremonial garb from some Mayan human sacrifice, bring all those past Karen fantasies crashing to earth like a meteor toppling an unwary dinosaur. What’s left leaves Karen pretty much what she has become- herself an archaeological artifact waiting to be discovered by her bullwhip cracking lover, the estimable Dr. Jones. Granted, George Lucas found a spot for Allen in the latest “Indie” picture, but that’s more like obligatory obeisance similar to inviting old presidents to the opening of a national library. Allen’s father was an FBI man, and he might prompt an investigation as to what exactly happened. Like Lot’s wife turning to a pillar of salt and Nazis evaporating to piles of dust, some sights should not be gazed upon. In the next rumored Jones’ flick tentatively titled The Curse of Julie Christie, we’ve seen where feet can stop a clock. But Karen should take heart in the fact that “2″ shows up twice a day.
