I loved her in Temple of Doom. She was gorgeous and hilarious. Never knew anyone didn't love her in it.
I loved her in the movie!!! 😮Not sure what Robert and Ebert had against her. She played the part perfectly!
Further proof that's critics are the most useless aspect of the entertainment industry, as well as basically unnecessary to the human race in general! Lol. Essentially a niche' created by itself, for itself, and for the segment of the population which is unable to formulate it's own opinions or preference's
I agreed. Her performance was perfect for that character.
Loved her as well.
She was unbearable in that movie. Almost ruined the movie for me
i guess spielberg and lucas were both going through divorces at the time which is why the movie is the only one of them all that is darker and has an annoying female lead character, until the 5th one of course she's just as annoying. funny thing though because of this movie spielberg and kate kapshaw got married and are still married to this day.
Kate won that interview. He was awkward from the beginning and it seemed he wasn’t that fond of her at first but she charmed the hell out of him by the end. That flirty twinkle in her eye when she asked to call somebody melted him. Haha
you must be kidding, she's awkward, she's all over the place here, she can't finish one story
@@damazywlodarczykShe's nervous but still cute.
She's an 80's lady ! 🙂
That hair-do definitely 80's
Just watched Temple Of Doom last night!😂❤
She is lovely! so natural and unpretentious.
@2:54: *"...this is a complaint we've heard, seriously, we hear it frequently, and we're sick of it."*
Dave was the coolest.
People out there, this woman here showed to all of us one of THE finest examples of what a classy lovely lady means! You can not imagine how attractive a person can be when is humble! Add the classiness and the charm of this woman, and you get a spectacular woman! Even the toughest tongues and hearts like David's, can melt in front of such a beautiful and attractive humbleness. At the beginning of this interview, there was a cold chemistry between those two, but at the end, her character won his heart. Even if you are a giant, when you humiliate yourself (with the good way of meaning), people tend to love you, because they connect their misery that they hide inside, with your's. You become their kind of guy who they want to sit in a bar with and talk out their fears and problems. Admit it or not, nobody loves a perfect person! Because nobody is! Kate is an amazing and beautiful lady!
Almost 40 years after it came out - I learn that "Temple of Doom" is a prequel to Raiders. Mind blown.
I am so glad you brought this up. Just a few days ago and I am a big Indiana jones fan, I found out just a few days ago.
I remember in Space Camp, Tate Donovan was eyeing her and commented, “nice boosters!”
And then she married the director of that movie and is a billionaire. She did OK!!!
I feel bad for the boyfriend who was trying to protect her.
"Temple of the Doom " was not "Raiders ". It was completely different. Not better, different.
And that's the reason of the beauty of that film. And further, for the importance of the 5logy .
Capshaw was better than great.
And it's hard not to mention her beauty besides her performance.
Ah, don't forget, actions in this movie taking place in 1935. Prequel of "Raiders "(1936) ,some way. (maybe as the different approach).
In the 80s, every Indiana Jones film (but especially Temple of Doom) was often referred to as the 'second Raiders picture" etc. Because The first film was called Raiders of the Lost Ark, and did not contain Indiana Jones in the title. That's why Temple of Doom is often referred to as a "Raiders" movie.
Willie is the hottest female from the Indiana Jones movies.
I'm sure each had their appeal. Alison Doody made a pretty strong impression. Kate was something special. I'm undecided on seeing the last one, however.
Not much competition, though.
Well, Capshaw is second, but that's because I have a bit of a thing for Blanchett.
She reminds me of my sixth grade English & homeroom teacher. She’s got that great I-can-explain-anything-to-you vibe, coupled with an I-can-keep-law-and-order-in-the-classroom energy, along with a side order of I-will-bring-out the-best-in-your-homework-compositions no matter what… Plus, of course, she brings out deep memories of one of those incurable & painful pre-teen crushes that one always seems to develop for that one amazing teacher.
Yeah...Miss Dean. English class. We had a special, uh, like, understanding? Well, I was only 12 but I'm pretty sure it could have worked out. I mean I was determined to put in some library time, pick up a few pointers. So I would have been well prepared and all.
She liked my poem. And you know, that's always a shoo-in for a 7th grade English teacher's heart. Ah, what could have been...
She was a spec ed teacher before becoming an actor.
Great performances always. Magnetic personality
She was perfect and legend in Black Rain!
She's simply stunning!
8:45 "My boyfriend..." Ah, she must be referring to that director fellow. Steven something.
That would explain why he was interested in hearing what they had to say.
The two of them have been married since 1989.
She and her hubby Steven Spielberg ate in a restaurant I worked at and they were both very nice.We were used to dealing with some wealthy customers who could be difficult 😅 but they weren’t at all .
Yeah, what ever became of him, I wonder?
@@adamslater7486pp
She's mesmerizing. The trouble with her role in the Temple of Doom was the inevitable comparison to Marion, the brashy heroine we all fell in love with the first time around. Willie never stood a chance.
I’ve always been the opposite! I hate butch women like Marion. I love how feminine and amusing Willie Scott is.
I 💕 Kate!
Dude, Kate Capshaw's Willie Scott made the movie.
They should have called Siskle and Ebert at the end.
Take a look at her patterned nylons: totally 80s! My friend’s mom is still wearing those - although they are also back in style now.
I liked Temple of Doom. Black Rain is the film I think most of, out of all her roles.
People have noted that in Temple Of Doom she does not have a 1935 hairstyle. Seeing this you can see the difference from her mid-'80s look.
The best Indiana Jones girl
Imagine saying a movie like Temple of Doom is terrible, just because it's the weakest film in the Indiana Jones trilogy, which still means it's pretty amazing. The whole darkness of the film was one of its best aspects.
It was fun to set it in two different countries and to have different antagonists. Lot of classic moments and humor in that one!
It's not the weakest. 2nd best after Raiders.
My favorite indy girl. So talented and funny
Mine too!!
@@hey_marianne nice pick
She did the job she was paid to do, Spielberg wanted the reverse of Marion he made her do all the complaining and screaming, it's a shame that's all she now gets remembered for as she did do other films, she was good in black rain with Michael Douglas.
It was a small part, sadly.
@@SCharlesDennicon smaller than jones yeh but ill be honest i havent seem her in anything else so thats my only reference point lol shes in some space cadet film with lea thompson but i cant find it.
Kate Capshaw is just so gorgeous and charming! And he was fantastic in Temple of Doom!
He?
Gorgeous 🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥
My favorite Indy movie
She forgot Ke Huy Quan’s name and calls him “the little boy”…. twice 😢
Surprised that a privileged white woman forgot an Asian boy's name?
You think she would have at least remembered the name Short Round lol!
wish Dave would have gone over the rest of her brother's letter, damn commercial
Kate didn’t want Dave to read it; he was trying to be respectful of that. He still opted to read the comment about his dislike of guests cancelling, because in that case, the joke is on him.
Temple of Doom came out when I was 9 and I remember seeing it in the theater and having the biggest crush on Kate Capshaw. I thought she was great in it tbh. She added a comedic tone to the movie, which isn’t a bad thing.
Temple of Doom & The Last Crusade are my 2 favourite Indy films.
You forgot the classic one . The masterpiece.
@@twomindz79 No I've named the best 2! Raiders is ranked as number 3 in my favourite Indy films list.
A beauty !
She’s gorgeous. So is her daughter. Funny she mentioned her boyfriend, as she met Spielberg on this movie and ended up marrying him. So I’m pretty sure her boyfriend hates Temple with a passion.
The general consensus is that people didn’t like all the screaming she did, but I guess that was her character and not down to Kates acting.
Great interview, hyper authentic woman !
Actual interview starts at 5:50
Well now I need to know if she ever made another appearance and if they remembered to call someone!
She didn't visit Late Night again, but she visited Late Show in 1999, roughly 15 years later.
@@NicholasMoreau Probably no phone calls then, eh?
thx!
@@davewestner Because that's around the time when Dave got boring, right?
Well they were wrong... now its one of the best movies of all time....
Kate Capshaw's hair is totally anachronistic in this movie
The film came out when I was 9. I had a huge crush on her back then, especially when I saw her in that sparkly dress in the beginning of the movie. Sorry, Mr. Spielberg. No disrespect intended. 🙏
did she ever do another letterman episode where they called someone i would like to see that if they did
It's Ford's 81st birthday today! 🎂
Could you imagine how the fanboys would treat her today. They would tear her to shreds. Thank god this came out long before the Internet.
That's kind of funny since Temple has long been considered the most "Based" Indiana Jones film.
@@TheLAGopher Never underestimate the power of fanboy rage.
The fangirls would be worse.
KALIMAAA !!
Michael Shannon should star in the Letterman Biopic.... Look at him!
The three movies Dave mentioned are the only ones I've seen her in. Did she make any others?
Also the 1989 Movie, Black Rain, with Michael Douglas.
She is gorgeous
Oh Letterbug… I just don’t know what to make of that interview. Was it good? It was odd on so many levels. Sure, she’s a babe, and I remember that 80's hair, but what was going on? Odd. Just odd…
She reminds me of my mom for some reason.
I like it how she appeared in this leather skirt and patterned thights, simple, elegant, feminine. That was all she needed to take the spot.
It's obviously from Dave's "brown" period😂
Funny episode. Pretty woman!
Spielberg has impeccable taste in women.
still the best indy film
Oh how I wanted to boom Kate Capshaw's "temple" when in those days. 😌
The fact is that she acted the way women in movies of the 1930's would have acted. Since the movie was set in that period it was way more realistic than Marion Ravenwood punching Nazis in Raiders, or that British feminist who ruined the last movie.
Roger Ebert gave Temple of Doom 4 out of 4 stars in print, so his review definitely wasn't a C+. That's an A. He didn't criticize Kate Capshaw in his review directly, but he did say the only scene in the movie he didn't like was her romantic scene with Harrison Ford. Unfortunately, this Siskel and Ebert episode has NEVER turned up on the internet, so we can't compare Capshaw's description of it to the actual thing. If anyone happens to have this Siskel and Ebert episode on VHS, please reply to me and I'll help you get it converted to digital format.
------------------------ gene n rodger ....more x than not had to get in jab to keep things 'interesting' .....I'm sure when they reach St.Peter standing diligently at the prearly gates of heaven , they'd say ---- this place is a dump....
The thing is, the whole movie in retrospect was very disrespectful to Indian culture. The movie seemed to want to gross everyone out in every scene. I always enjoy the beginning of the film, but lose interest when they get into India.
@@putinscat1208yes, the movie should've been more respectful to that semi-fictional evil cult killing people by ripping their heart out and throwing them in the fire.
@@putinscat1208 I don't think it was disrespectful to Indian culture. Indy forms an alliance with Indian villagers, who are portrayed as peaceful people. On the other side of the jungle, you have the Thuggee cult, who have enslaved children. It's a story about bad guys, good guys and innocent people. It just happens to take place in India, so most of the people, good or bad, are Indian.
@@jedijones The Indian Govt. refused to let them film there, and so they did it in Sri Lanka. The parts regarding eating snakes and money brains and the Indian religion were problems for India. As well as use of the word “maharaja.” The movie was banned there. I'll trust India knows what is good for India. I liked the movie, but I also found it tedious over the years.
Feeling pretty old
she's kind of a mix between Katharine Hepburn and David Bowie
Damn she was fine. I get it, Steven.
Wow no bonding with that set. "The little boy" like a bub bie on airlines 😅
It's Spielburg's wife.
My type of woman!
Her eyes are so exotic 🤔
Steven Spielbergs Wife 😊🍁
Dave definitely wasn't enamored by her.
Kate was on a hot streak in the 80s...then she got her meal ticket.
Question - when she says she watched Siskel & Ebert with her daughter and her "boyfriend", was the "boyfriend".....Steven Spielberg?
More than likely
@@mtennantmusicbut he was with Amy Irving at that time
Kate Capshaw was hilarious and great! Great Valentine's Day, Action, Horror, and Comedy!
TEMPLE OF DOOM gets 10/10 hands down! !📀
ROTLA 8/10 📀, TOD 10/10 📀, TLC 8/10 📀, KOTCS 2/10 🤮
DOD 💩 ZERO! Get that shight away from me!
ziemlicher Koffer der letterman.
1:09 3:38 4:14 4:59 7:04 8:10 10:44
I wonder if her boyfriend was Spielberg?
Sultry
He’s so wierd with her. She asked him not to read it and her read it … how rude is that id of slapped him
Kapshaw was heavily criticized but it wasn't so much because of her performance as it was because the character of Willie is pretty awful. It remains to this day the least appreciated female character of the trilogy (if you count all IJ movies, Phoebe Waller-Bridge takes the cake, it goes without saying). It's about the character.
Had I been Letterman's shoes that day, I would have certainly not been mean to her. She's so lovely.
Well come on let's just say it, she was so annoying in the movie because of her screaming at everything and partly because of that it was the worst Indy movie for years until Crystal skull. But she seems like a real sweetheart in this interview.
Did Kate Capshaw die? I know Siskel and Ebert are dead, so this can't be about them.
When David retired and S/C took over it was like the day the music died and Buddy Holly was lost. Comedy suffered a great loss that day.
I don't remember Stone Cold taking over
Colbert is great. Only one Dave, though.
@@MehYam2112 Colbert is garbage .. just another late night pundit like the rest of them .. they're not comedians, they're propagandists.
This Indiana Jones was one of the Three great Indiana Jones movies, the rest are an embarrassment to the franchise, The Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny will go down in history as the worst, atrocious, and disastrous movies of the last two decades.
I thought she was really good in Indiana Jones, the role itself was perhaps a bit over the top with the character shouting all of the time, but in a way it was great. Also that was the role, not her as a person or an actress so why would anyone say anything so cruel? I don't know.
Temple and Kate Capshaw eventually grew on me, but when it came out, you couldn't help but compare Airhead Willie to Ballbuster Marion and then sorely miss Karen Allen, who was the whole package. Nonetheless, I wish they would have brought back Willie or Short Round for Dial of Destiny even if it was a short cameo. Short Round was a stronger character than Willie in the movie because he carried everything missing from Marion/Karen Allen. He did a great job. Kate seems like a personable lady. She just got stuck with Willie, a weak character.
She towers her hubby Spielberg. It's nuts to think a family guy like ol' Spiely would have an affair as he did with her but hey Amy Irvin got 100 mill so that aint too bad.
Kate Capshaw's "Temple" Of Doom.... so many bugs...
@@robertgoerss With a battalion of Orkin men.
@@robertgoerss D-Day was child's play compared to this!
@@robertgoerss Are you serious? It was a freaking joke! Get a grip! Take some antidepressants because your sense of humor is completely gone.
Its a good thing she married Spielberg...she wouldn't have made it very long in Hollywood. Horrible awkward interview! I felt bad for Dave.
I understand why stephen have married her.
Back before Stephen put her on Religious lockdown.
Is she a little crazy?
Steven did better than Harrison
😅It's OK Kate you're no longer the most annoying person in an Indy movie.
Boyfriend and daughter
she was the entire movie .With out her it was a bore
Letterman resulted to be a disgusting person. I have seen old videos of him being so rude specially with women, and this video is no exception
They weren’t wrong
Ahh..just a simple joke..you have a firm..handshake...but these days even this could get you fired in the castrating society we live in now😮
There is a big difference between shaking the hand of a woman and put it on her ass.
She certainly seems likeable. Amazing eyes. Yea, but her character in Indiana Jones was awful. Don't know if it was her acting chops or the direction provided, but we'll charitably say that it was the bad directing. In fact, yes, it had to be the directing.
In any case, she's cute, but it's a painfully slow start for the first half of the interview. Her story about her terrible reviews was actually the best part.
I actually have that DVD on the shelf and I've never been able to sit down through the whole thing. That says plenty about the writing and directing.
Elle a ruinée le film.
