Karen Lynn Gorney (born January 28, 1945 in Beverly Hills, California) is an American actress, best known for her roles on television and film.
Gorney earned degress from both Carnegie Mellon University and Brandeis University.
In the 1970s, the actress made a name for herself playing Tara Martin on the soap opera All My Children. She became so popular that she was offered the lead female role of Stephanie in Saturday Night Fever, alongside John Travolta, in which she was well-received.
After that, however, she almost completely vanished from the acting and entertainment scene, for reasons that have never been made clear. In July 1983 she appeared in a nude pictorial in Oui magazine.
Later in the 1980s began to appear in small roles again. In the 1990s, Gorney returned to All My Children in cameo spots.
