She was still an acting student when she landed a part in a movie called Animal House starring John Belushi and her career took off. Then she was Marion Ravenwood, Harrison Ford’s love interest in “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” But when she decided to leave NYC for the country, Karen Allen’s movie career took more of a detour than she expected. So she opened a yoga studio and started her own textile company, making cashmere sweaters on a Japanese knitting machine. I went to see Karen Allen in the little town in the Berkshires where she showed me around the charming house she lives in that was built in the 1700s and was once a barn. We spent the afternoon chatting about re-invention, karma, the downside of facelifts and why she wants acting and directing to be at the center of her life again now that she’s 64.
