There are notes from Lucas and Spielberg's original writing sessions where Lucas proposes that she should be 11 and Spielberg negotiates him up and they compromise at 15 because "if she's any older it's not interesting". If you really want to read the transcripts they're online but you don't want to. D:
OMGWTFBQQ, brb going off to google how old that actress was... she was 30 when they filmed the movie? Why can't the character just be 30? And then Indy's 39, and so they were 20 and 29 when they fucked??????? So it's still "I was a child" in that there's an age difference but it's not FIFTEEN WHAT THE FUCK.
