Ms. Thigpen was also in films, including Warriors (1979), Godspell (1981), Tootsie (1981), Lean on Me (1985) and Impulse (1988). By the early '90s, Thigpen was well known to TV viewers of all age ranges. To the preteens, she was familiar for her regular work as the Chief in PBS' Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? To teens and older viewers, Thigpen was unforgettable as nurse Grace Keefer, a certified "looney tune" who kidnapped the child of the cop who killed her drug-addict son on the ABC daytimer All My Children.
