Maren Jensen
Nude

Science fiction babes were all the rage in the late ’70s, but no one gave Wonder Woman a run for her money more than the similarly raven-tressed, blue-eyed Maren Jensen. Born in Arcadia, California, Maren earned a scholarship to attend UCLA, where she studied Theater Arts and Law. Prior to landing her career-defining role on Battlestar Galactica in 1978, Maren spent several years as a top fashion model. That’s no surprise; just look at her! She was only in college at the time. While working as a model, Maren appeared on the covers of Vogue and Mademoiselle. Then she met an agent, who helped Maren score two network commercials and a role in The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (1977). Despite all of her success, Maren’s career never took off as spectacularly as the spaceship she manned onscreen. After Battlestar Gallactica ended, she appeared in a number of guest spots on such series as The Love Boat (1979) and Fantasy Island (1980), where the pretty balloon smugglers are always front-and-center, but she faded away after her performance in Beyond the Reef (1981). Fortunately, Maren bared her out-of-this-world chest flesh in Wes Craven‘s thriller Deadly Blessing (1981) before disappearing altogether. Her space-tacular skinbags are on display for a few delectably brief seconds, mostly whilst in or near a bathtub. A very young pantie-clad Sharon Stone also appears in the flick but, alas, remains clothed throughout. Still, it’s worth checking out. Maren hasn’t been onscreen since the ’80s, but it’s never too late for a comeback!
