Loraine Beitelheimer was the goddaughter of Marcus Brody.
Biography[]
Loraine was the child of a close college friend of Marcus Brody. Brody then acted as her godparent.[1]
Attending art school in Switzerland, Loraine met Hans Beitelheimer, the man she would eventually marry. They were together for six years when she was killed in a landslide while out skiing but her body was never recovered.[1]
The devastated Hans decided to retreat from the world and went to live in relative seclusion on the Chilean island of Chiloé for the remainder of his days.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Loraine Beitelheimer was created by author Rob MacGregor for the novel Indiana Jones and the Interior World. In its summary of Interior World, The World of Indiana Jones added the detail that established that Hans Beitelheimer, Loraine's husband, was the brother-in-law of Marcus Brody.[2] The information was later repeated in Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide.[3] Such a relationship between the characters potentially indicates that Brody's goddaughter married his wife Elizabeth's brother. Or it could suggest an unusual scenario in which Brody was godfather to his own sister with his "close college friend" actually being one of his parents.
