She was also originally hired to write the third ''Indiana Jones'' film, completing a first draft set in a haunted house before George Lucas and Steven Spielberg decided on a different approach.

Early promotional materials for the 1989 film ''Always'' credited Thomas as the film's co-writer, but the final film credits list Jerry Belson as the sole screenwriter. Provided by Wikipedia
