In 1974, Bentzen moved to New York City, where she performed in numerous theater productions, including Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, School for Scandal, and A Hatful of Rain.[6] In 1978 Bentzen was cast as Nicole Travis Drake Cavanaugh in the crime-mystery melodrama The Edge of Night. Her portrayal of Nicole, a character coming to terms with the death of her husband, attorney Adam Drake (played by Donald May), who later married Miles Cavanaugh (Joel Crothers), was praised by critics, with one newspaper noting that she “provided viewers with a refreshing interpretation of the role.”[5] Bentzen remained in the role until 1981.[7] Bentzen's other notable roles include Amy Rollings in A Breed Apart (1984), and Julie in Blood Rage (1987).

In developing the program, Hoover also designed a training sequence for existing school staff, which kept costs to schools relatively modest.[11] Several studies and field evaluations have shown the intervention model to be effective, increasing students’ reading between pre-test and post-test and raising scores from below-level to grade-level performance.[12] In 2012, Silverman and Bentzen formed the Benedict Silverman Foundation to support the expansion of Reading Go!.[10] Bentzen is the foundation’s president and board chair.[1]
