Live and act
Sian Barbara Allen wanted to become an actress even as a teenager and in 1964 received a scholarship for artistic training at the Pasadena Playhouse . In 1965 she went on theater tours with several small repertoire stages before she was brought in front of the camera for the first time by the television station Public Broadcasting Service in the early 1970s . Sian Barbara Allen notably guest-starred on a plethora of series including Smoking Colts , FBI , Dr. med. Marcus Welby , Detective Rockford - just give us a call , Hawaii Five-Zero , Owen Marshall - defense attorney , Bonanza , Kojak - assignment in Manhattan , Cagney & Lacey , The Incredible Hulk and in several episodes of The Waltons , where she played friend John Boys, and in an episode of Columbo where she was seen as the victim of a devious assassination attempt.
Mostly the artist was used as a shy and a little colorless young woman, type of inconspicuous, "gray mouse". In those early years Sian Barbara Allen also received two interesting cinema offers: In the 1972 drama Delivered , she played a deaf-mute girl at Patty Duke's side , and in the late- west, The Wolves Buried in the Gorge , she played two years later at the side of See Gregory Peck . The acting performance shown in the first film brought Allen a 1973 nomination for the Golden Globe Award . At the beginning of the 1980s, the actress reduced her work in front of the camera noticeably and turned to writing. She published her stories in print media under various aliases. At the end of 1989, after a guest role in the lawyer series LA Law - Star Lawyers, Tricks, Trials , Sian Barbara Allen finally ended her acting career, which was all in all rather unsatisfactory. She worked on three dozen film and television productions.
