Randy M. "Randee" Heller (born June 10, 1947) is an American television and film actress. Her most notable roles were in the film ''The Karate Kid'' and one of its sequels, ''The Karate Kid, Part III'', as Daniel Larusso's mother, and on the 1970s serial sitcom ''Soap'' as Jodie Dallas's roommate Alice, one of the first recurring lesbian characters in television history.〔(Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Television Characters (1971-1980) )〕〔Clifford Pugh.

==Early life and career==
Heller was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in West Hempstead, on Long Island. Her mother was raised in Brooklyn and her grandparents were from Russia.〔Hochberg, Mina. ("Q&A with Randee Heller" ), AMCtv.com, 19 September 2010.〕 She began her career in musicals on Broadway in such shows as ''Grease'', where she played Rizzo,〔Jim Kershner. "Sandpoint schedule shaping up." ''The Spokesman-Review'' (Spokane, Washington), May 13, 2001, p. F3〕 and ''Godspell''. She moved from New York to California in 1978. Her groundbreaking role as Alice on the TV series ''Soap'' received mixed reviews. The criticism was not for her acting but for the stereotyping of her character. The role played into a television tradition of making lesbian characters psychologically troubled. The ''Boston Herald'' said that the characterization shows how "the networks have generally depicted lesbians either as suicidal losers or sexual predators." For example, it identifies Alice as "TV's first recurring lesbian character," noting that she "first tries to throw herself off a bridge, then falls for Jodie (Billy Crystal), a confused gay man, and finally runs off.".〔Mark A. Perigard. "Networks' record shows gay stereotyping", ''Boston Herald'' April 30, 1997, page 44.〕
