Temple of Doom: How Bad Was Kate Capshaw?



So here's the question of the day in the midst of today's Indiana Jones Labor Day Marathon. Is Kate Capshaw's ear splitting shrieking performance in Indiana Jobs and the Temple of Doom the worst female acting job in movie history? Well, I'm not expert on these things but in my book (or blog as the case may be) it is definitely in the top 3 worst performances. 

Through some subsequent reporting we've come to learn that both Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were in various stages of getting a divorce from their wives during the filming of Temple of Doom. And we know Spielberg was smitten enough to eventually marry Capshaw, but really... how can the two cinematic geniuses sit through a showing of this movie without shaking their heads. Temple of Doom wasn't a complete failure of a movie but Capshaw did her best to do her worst and take it down a few notches.
