IMO, just the skin tone says that person is not her.

Here is another article, dated this year, concerning Maren and Epstein Barr. Note that it has the wrong photo of her at the top (misidentified photo)

According to the article, she splits her time between New York/Brooklyn and Los Angeles. Really would be wonderful to have her appear at any type of convention.

Yes, as a posted in another post, I pulled the "older" photo and a similar one from 1979 into Photoshop and started working some digital magic (I'm a longtime Graphic Designer) on the "older" photo, adding makeup, eye shadow and shading, etc. I thought it ended up about an 85% match, but still unsure. A couple have since posted that it was not her.... The photo pulled, though, uses a last name not associated with her. When you find the older photo and right click to do a save as, the name associated with it is "Maren Bodenstein," which is a name not associated with Maren Jensen (see below)

Fastpeoplesearch.com (really good website) lists her information as follows:

Maren K Jensen
Lives in: Sherman Oaks, CA

Used to live: Sherman Oaks, CA, New York, NY, West Hollywood, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Culver City, CA, Brooklyn, NY

AKA: Kugelberg M Jensen , Maren Jensen , Maren J Kugelberg , Maren K Kugelberg , Maren Kugelberg

Related to: J Kugelberg , J Kugelberg , J Kugelberg , Johan C Kugelberg , Elizabeth B Kilroy , Oonagh Kilroy , Samuel Kilroykugelberg

Businesses: STILA COSMETICS, INC, GS BELLEVIEW PARTNERS, GOOD LUCK CLUB, INC

Well to take this thread from long ago back to the matter of Maren's acting, sadly I have to concur that she was just not cutting it and the proof is not so much in what ended up on screen, but look at what she did that did NOT end up on the screen. If you go through the deleted scenes sections for Saga and GOIPZ which were the first episodes shot she has a lot more that indicated how prominent she was supposed to be and it all ended up on the cutting room floor. And when I see these scenes I am struck by how weak she is in these moments that are largely "family" moments with Apollo and Adama, and because these are meant to be critical scenes, I think her failure in them was what made the producers decide that Laurette was going to become front-and-center more.

I do agree that Maren did have her good moments and the locker room scene in Saga is literally her best moment in the entire series. In that moment she conveys beautifully the withdrawn reaction of someone who's just lost two family members, has seen her world shattered (and probably lost her religious faith too) and is now afraid of responding to Starbuck. If only she'd delivered like that in the scenes that were cut her future on the show might have been different.
