Where was Daria Halprin in this?

According to cast list on IMDb Daria Halprin is in this film. I just watched it and was trying to pick her out. She was in a film called Zabriskie Point, which I haven't seen, and she was married to Dennis Hopper later on. I've only seen a few pictures of her and thought she was gorgeous. One of the hippie chicks dancing nude on the stage with the weird psychodelic lighting while the rock music played looked a little like her but it was hard to tell. Does anyone know where she was in this film? I was hoping she had a larger role. Right now there are used VHS copies for Zabriskie Point going for over $30. I had decided never to pay more than $15 for a used VHS since you never know when it might come out on DVD but in this case I may have to make an exception.

I haven't seen Revolution, but I loved her in Zabriskie Point. I clicked on your post because everywhere it's saying that both she and her co-lead in ZP had no prior acting experience, but Wikipedia indicates that Revolution was her first film! So I wondered, did she act in it, or what? Your post answers my question! So yes, ZP was her first acting job. If you want to watch it, Netflix has it. I'm watching it this weekend, for probably the fourth or fifth time, but haven't seen it in many years. Cheers!

Wow, I had given up on getting a reply on this post. Yes, this is a documentary so no one acts so Zabriskie Point would have been her first acting gig. In the three and a half years since this post I read somewhere that Daria Halprin's mother owned some kind of theater in San Francisco and I assumed it was the one with the naked hippies (male and female) dancing on the stage, and that Daria's mother had her dancing naked on the stage. I'll have to see Zabriskie Point now. I believe if I can see Daria in motion I'll know for sure whether she's one of the hippie chicks on the stage or not.

I only came here and checked because I was writting about this movie on another board. I'm glad I did.

Answer to a 10 year old question: Daria is in "Revolution" clearly around 1h13', where hippies dance naked to weird lighting. She's the one with the very long hair and inordinately broad shoulders. With the low resolution available online her face is distinguishable once, with her unique gaze.
I stumbled upon her by chance, the piercing eyes shone a split second and no more was needed !
