Her first movie appearance was as an extra in the film
Three Men and a Little Lady, and after guest appearances on a number of daytime dramas dating back to the mid-1980s, and a fairly large part in
Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice, as well as several
independent films, Allen was signed as a main character in
NBC's popular
sci-fi series,
seaQuest DSV, but she left after one season. Like her
seaQuest predecessor (
Stephanie Beacham), she appeared in an episode of
Star Trek: The Next Generation. Allen also appeared alongside her then husband Todd Allen in
seaQuest DSV in the episode "The Siamese Dream". Allen twice portrayed the love interest of
Bobby Ewing (
Patrick Duffy), though as different characters, on both the final episode of the original run of
Dallas and the first reunion TV movie
Dallas: J.R. Returns. ==Filmography==
