Speaking to the magazine, Ms. Allen had this to say:

Since Raiders was a period piece, did Spielberg make you watch any old movies or give you any kind of model for how he saw Marion?

Karen: "The only thing we looked at together was Hud -- he told me that Marion reminded him a lot of the Patricia Neal character in Hud."

Her responce to the cheers at her introduction in last year's ComicCon:

Karen: "We couldn't hear the reaction and the screen they had on it was actually turned the other way from us so I couldn't see anything, but people told us it was a wonderful reaction."

On working with Harrison Ford:

Karen: "This time felt so easy and natural and filled with humor. ... Even though there was such a long gap, it felt like it was yesterday that we working together."

You can read more about snakes, almost being Princess Leia(?) and how Marion has changed in Geek. The magazine also includes the whipmaster, Anthony DeLongis, who's resume includes teaching a certain Mr. Ford how to use the bullwhip (his name also appears on the Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon movie, funny I don't remember any bullwhips in that one). You can read more in the May issue of Geek, with Speed Racer's Christina Ricci on the cover, on sale now!
