If you grew to know life in the 80s... Than this Bud (legend) is for you! I first saw her in 'Starman'... And immediately knew she was an awesome actress!! Remember 'Scrooged', 'Indiana Jones', 'Split Image', 'Challenger' (GREAT made for tv movie!!)
​
She was born Karen Jane Allen, on October 5, 1951, in Carrollton, Illinois.. As a tyke.. She moved around alot due to her dad's job.. According to Wiki - she said.. "I grew up moving almost every year and so I was always the new kid in school and always in a way was deprived of ever really having any lasting friendships".  According to her website.. From a very early age she loved to write and began having her writings published at an early age.. 

She graduated high school here.. ​​
