Anybody ever get her confused with...


Brooke Adams.

reply

I do. I always get those two confused especially in the their earlier movies. When I saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (in the movie theaters-yes I'm old) I swore that it was Brooke Adams playing the part of Marion. Heck, the only reason I even came to this board tonight is because I was just watching a Law & Order episode from 1996 and Karen was in it but I needed to double check. Well at least now I know I wasn't the only one. Brooke was also on a few episodes of Monk. The one episode I noticed was titled Mr. Monk and the Airplane (2002) & I checked Karen's IMDB page & then Brooke's and I was surprised to find out that she is married to Tony Shalhoub since 1992.

Karen Allen, Brooke Adams, Karen Carpenter, Margot Kidder (in the 70's) - all of these women seem to look similar somehow to me. Must have been the hairstyles of the 70's, the shape of their faces and smiles.

I just watched Animal House last night and I was certain she was Margo Kidder (Lois Lane from the original Superman movie). All these years I thought it was Margo Kidder.

Karen Allen kind of reminds me of Julie Hagerty.

I once read a post that said that Karen Allen, Margot Kidder, and Brooke Adams should've done a film in which they all played sisters (but not "Sisters" with Margot Kidder), and I agree.
