Karen Jane Allen, born in 1951, carved her cinematic identity through diverse roles that span the 1970s to the present. Her portrayal of Marion Ravenwood in Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark and its 2008 sequel cemented her status as a screen icon. Yet, Allen's career is defined by more than just Indiana Jones, with memorable turns in college comedy National Lampoon's Animal House and the sci-fi romance Starman. Her presence in films like Cruising and The Wanderers, alongside contemporary work in The Sandlot and Poster Boy, showcases a versatility that transcends genre and era.
