Jodi Thelen played the female lead in director Arthur Penn's movie "Four Friends" (also known as "Georgia's Friends"). Although the movie never achieved much commercial success, it has a significant following (see, for example, the many passionate favorable reviews on the IMDb).
In addition to being the work of a major director, the film treats important social and political questions, including the radicalization of the 1960's, and the experience of immigrants, especially of what's been called "first-and-a-half" generation immigrants (who came here as older children or adolescents).
Since then Thelen has maintained a career as an actress. Obviously more needs to be done to fill out this biography. If I knew how to do it, I'd change the box at the bottom of the article to the one that says "This article is a stub" from the one that questions Thelen's notability.
