She was born April 16, 1945 in New York City and she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in Dramatic Art. She later performed at the Boulder Shakespeare Festival, the American Conservatory Theater, the Magic Theater, and the Actors Repertory Theater. She was a founding member of the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, where she acted in over 50 plays.
In 1979, Ingenthron moved to New York City and appeared in a production of California Suite with Al Lewis. She moved to Los Angeles, where she stayed for three years, and had a role on an episode of the television series Lou Grant in 1980. Returning to New York, she married Lewis in 1984, and taught writing at the Roosevelt Island Cultural Center for five years.
WBAI, an FM radio station in New York City, invited Al Lewis to create a show with Ingenthron co-producing. In 2003, Lewis was too ill to do his show and she took over as the host. In 2006 she received the Sarah Clarke Human Rights Award.
