One of the most iconic Hollywood movies, "Saturday Night Fever" released over 40 years ago. While actor John Travolta's career went uphill after his role as the "king of disco" Tony Manero, actress Karen Lynn Gorney took a hiatus from her acting career for a while after the movie's release.

Before Gorney stole audiences' hearts with her role as the headstrong girl who said "no" to Trevolta's Manero in the hit movie, she was famous as Tara Martin from ABC's award-winning show "All My Children."
