Having acted off and on Broadway for several years, including the musicals Grease and Mayor, Kristen made her television debut in the role of Delia Reid on the ABC soap opera Ryan's Hope in 1975 and remained with the show until 1979. In 1982, she returned to television, portraying Georgina Whitman on One Life to Live.[2] She returned to Ryan's Hope in 1986, remaining there until it was cancelled three years later. She remains friends with former Ryan's Hope actress Kate Mulgrew and supported Mulgrew's husband Tim Hagan when he ran for Governor of Ohio^{[citation needed]}.

After Ryan's Hope ended, she made appearances on several soap operas, including Loving and Another World, before she signed on for the role as neglectful mother and beautician Roxy Balsom in One Life to Live in 2001 where she remained until the series cancelation in 2012.

Roxanne Louise "Roxy" Balsom (née Lipchitz; formerly Holden) is a fictional character on ABC's daytime drama One Life to Live. She was played by Ilene Kristen from November 7, 2001 to January 13, 2012, the series finale. Ilene was on contract from Spring 2002 to September 2004 and was utilized consistently in a recurring capacity before and afterward.

The character is known for her constant malapropisms, which most other characters ignore and find amusing.

Roxy was introduced in 2001 as the wild, irresponsible mother of Natalie Buchanan and Rex Balsom. It soon was revealed, however, that Natalie was actually the biological daughter of Viki Lord Banks and Clint Buchanan. At first it was believed that when Allison Perkins had kidnapped the Buchanan baby in 1987, another child was returned and grew up to be Jessica Buchanan. Jessica began a tenuous relationship with Roxy, whom she believed to be her mother, and with Roxy's biological son Rex. But when a DNA test on Jessica proved that she was also Viki's daughter, the real story came out.
