Early life[]

Allen was born and raised in a suburb of Springfield, Massachusetts. She earned a BFA in drama from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, with minors in biology and anthropology.

Career[]

She formerly played 18-year-old Amanda Holden, Kim Delaney's daughter, in Lifetime's series Army Wives. She later appeared in Law & Order: Criminal Intent as Avery Burton. In the early 2000s, she made an appearance in a Hot Pockets advertisement promoting an updated line including higher quality ingredients. The ad tagline "irresistibly hot", associated her attractiveness with the desirability of the frozen microwaveable sandwich.[1]
