Four decades into her acclaimed film career, actress Karen Allen still can't believe she ever ended up in movies to begin with.

"I was 22 and I had imagined I would just be a theater actor and live in New York," she tells PEOPLE. "Films, to me, seemed like 3,000 miles away."

That one of her first film roles happened to be in a movie that launched one of the most successful film franchises of all time — Indiana Jones — still blows her mind.

"It's extraordinary! The fact that people are still seeing the film, talking about the film, having an interest in the film, it's amazing," Allen, 69, says of still talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark all these years later. "It's amazing, and wonderful. It's just one of those films that seems like it gets passed from generation to generation, and it stayed very beloved."
