Karen Allen is Now 67
Allen made her film debut with ‘Animal House,’ taking the role of Katy. In interviews done for the 30th anniversary of the film, Karen revealed some interesting stuff about her nude scene. Landis wanted her to bare her bottom, but she was very reluctant to do so. Donald Sutherland stepped in said he would bare his as well. She said in the interview: “I thought he was so sweet to do that, so I sort of let go of my objections and said, ‘Okay, if Donald Sutherland is going to bare his bottom, by golly, I’ll bare mine too!’”

Her latest project is a movie called ‘Colewell,’ where she plays a character named Nora.
