Both she and her husband turned up in bit parts in the movie Scrooged as a homeless couple-sadly, this was the last role for her, as she died sometime after filming of it wrapped. Her death is mentioned in the end credits of the movie.
According to IMDb, Cloud William is in there, too. However, since it's a Randolph Scott movie, and Jenson is credited as "Outlaw," his appearance may be pretty brief.
Edit:
He'd be one of Lee Van Cleef's henchmen.

He was probably with Lee Van Cleef's gang but they were mostly in wide shots and I did not spot him.
As far as I could tell on a skim-through, only one of the outlaws had any lines (mostly in a short scene where Van Cleef gets to speechify that he's realized Randolph Scott is setting a trap for him), and it wasn't Jenson. Roy's role was strictly a "guy who's one of the gang, moving around in the background" part.
So he was Crowd William?

"Love and the Sweet Sixteen" (Love, American Style, Nov. 5, 1971) featured former Laugh-In regular Henry Gibson as a bigamist with the titular number of wives. The three featured onscreen were Susan Howard, Lee Meriwether, and Barbara Luna. And just for good measure, the judge was Jon Lormer.
I just played back the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode "Mother, May I Go Out to Swim?" on my DVR. 1960. Starring William Shatner, directed by Herschel Daugherty ("Operation— Annihilate!"). It was on MeTV.
The story is dialogue-heavy, kind of a high-class soap opera, and the acting style is very detailed, with a lot of care put into it. It's good acting, but a little stagey versus today's one-hour dramas. One thing that struck me was Shatner's gentle speech mannerisms as the young man romancing a girl. It was very much what we would see in "The Conscience of the King" six years later. It's interesting that Bill wasn't breaking new ground when he cozied up to Lenore Karidian. He had an approach down already, and why not use it?

That's the delightful Judy Strangis, just late of Room 222, and not yet suffering as Dyna Girl, as the titular Mary. yes, I said titular.
Why was she suffering as Dyna Girl? Please elaborate.
He probably just meant to suggest that Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was a terrible show. I never caught it myself, but I never missed Shazam and Isis. Come to think of it, years later I never missed The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic woman. And Hercules and Xena. Some things just click.
Yes, like Zap said. I've only seen a little bit of Electra-Woman and Dyna Girl, and I realize it was a kids' show, but holy moly, it was painful to watch. I wasn't suggesting she was under any kind of duress or abuse on the show, just that it was really awful.
It was supposed to be a distaff Batman, but the writing was some of the worst that Sid and Marty Krofft ever approved. Disappointing when compared to other S&MK shows.Yes, like Zap said.
