Non-notable American actress. Best known for playing a supporting character in ER (TV series). No major roles it seems. Fails WP:ENT and WP:BIO. Christopher Connor (talk) 03:19, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This improvable article of a working actress who's career that has grown just as has any other actor's. In Television:... She plays a named character in 7 episodes of ER, a named character in 2 episodes of EZ Streets, a named character in 1 episode each of Chicago Hope, Early Edition, The Untouchables, Jack and Mike, and Chicago Story... and yes, these are preceded by minor descriptive roles in 1 episode each of What About Joan, Turks (TV seires), and Through Naked Eyes (film). In Film: She played a named character in Check Please , Hannah Free (film), and Poltergeist III.... and yes, these are preceded by minor descriptive roles in Class, The Babe, A Family Thing, and U.S. Marshals. Seems that just as all actors, her career begins with the minor roles and builds to the more significant. What the article inexplicably fails to share is that Thalken also has positive critical reception of her work in theater... and the article should be expanded accordingly to include it and the many sources available toward her notability.[1] Her overall body of work in television, film, and stage meets WP:ENT.
