'''Gloria Katz''' (October 25, 1942 β November 25, 2018) was a writer and producer who co-wrote the screenplay for ''[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom]]'' with her husband, [[Willard Huyck]], based on a story by [[George Lucas]]. That process involved the two of them writing "three real drafts, and then little rewrites" over an eight-month period with continuous input from director [[Steven Spielberg]], consciously trying "not to repeat the same pattern" followed by ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''.<ref name="Starlog">Lofficier, Randy & Jean-Marc. "Willard Huyck & Gloria Katz: Screenwriters at the Temple of Doom." [https://archive.org/details/starlog_magazine-087 ''Starlog'' #87] (October 1984), pp. 38-40, 60.</ref> In response to accusations that the finished film was excessively violent, Katz felt that was inherent to its fantastical nature: :...because I thought of ''Temple of Doom'' in a not very realistic context, I see the violence as somewhat different, not as street violence. It's a part of the fairy tale. Fairy tales are ''not'' antiseptic.<ref name="Starlog" /> Beyond [[Indiana Jones (franchise)|the ''Indiana Jones'' franchise]], Katz's collaborative screenplay work for [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] included the feature films ''American Graffiti'' (directed by George Lucas, with [[Harrison Ford]]), ''Howard the Duck'' (directed by Willard Huyck, with [[Denny Delk]]), and ''Radioland Murders'' (with [[Barry Bell]], [[Mary Boucher]], [[Lou Criscuolo]], [[Hadley Eure]], [[Keith Flippen]], [[Jennifer Hammond-Moranz]], [[Mark Jeffrey Miller]], [[Brad Moranz]], [[Richard K. Olsen]], [[Amy Parrish]], and [[Jeffrey Pillars]]), along with an uncredited dialogue rewrite of ''[[starwars:Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope|Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]]'' (also directed by George Lucas, with Harrison Ford, [[Anthony Daniels]], [[Carrie Fisher]], and [[William Hootkins]]). Katz's other screenwriting credits include ''Messiah of Evil'', ''French Postcards'', and ''Best Defense'' (with [[Kate Capshaw]], whose character hums [[The Raiders March]] at one point), all co-written with and directed by Willard Huyck; as well as ''Lucky Lady'' and the TV movie ''Mothers, Daughters, and Lovers''. On November 25, 2018, Katz died from [[Cancer|ovarian cancer]] in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]]. She was 76. ==Notes and references== {{Reflist}} ==External links== *{{Imdb|name/nm0441718/}} *{{WP|Gloria Katz}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Katz, Gloria}} [[Category:Writers and Authors|Katz, Gloria]]
