Template:Indiana Jones character Wilhelmina "Willie" Scott is a fictional character from the 1984 film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom played by actress Kate Capshaw. A busty blonde singer and cabaret dancer, she first becomes involved with archeologist Indiana Jones during his ill-fated 'deal' with gangster Lao Che for the remains of the Emperor Nurhachi, and later accompanies him on a quest to recover the sacred Sankara Stones (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). In a documentary for "Temple Of Doom", Steven Spielberg and George Lucas described that they created Willie to be completely dissimilar to Marion Ravenwood.

Born in Missouri in the USA, Scott grew up on a farm owned by her parents. Her grandfather, an entertainer and magician, was a regular fixture in her childhood; however his death during her teens helped develop her determination to succeed in the entertainment industry.

However, the Great Depression; she left Hollywood in the early 1930s, chasing apparently lucrative opportunities in the Orient.^[1] Arriving in Shanghai, she quickly found herself in the employ of Lao Che; this arrangement continued until she met Indiana Jones - accompanying him in the quest to retrieve the stolen Sankara Stones (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). She and Jones had a brief romantic relationship following the successful recovery of the artifact.

Steven Spielberg has hinted that Willie, along with Marion Ravenwood, may appear in the upcoming Indiana Jones 4. ^{[citation needed]}

Just as Indiana Jones was named after George Lucas' dog "Indiana", Willie Scott was named after Steven Spielberg's dog "Willie".^[2] Her full name, Wilhemina, is an homage to the Wilhelm scream, which sound designer Ben Burtt uses at least once in all the Indiana Jones films.^[3]
