Career
Gorney made her film debut in David and Lisa (1962), when she was a student at a mental health care facility. Stanley Sweetheart's next film on the big screen came in 1970 with the film The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart. Gorney appeared on the soap opera All My Children from 1970 to 1974. Gorney had promised to return after her replacement, actress/writer Stephanie Braxton, decided to leave the program after she left the program. She appeared on the television as Tara in 1976-1977, but she was later barred from returning to the program until almost 20 years later.
Gorney appeared in her third film, and her best role to date, as Stephanie Mangano in Saturday Night Fever, alongside John Travolta. She appeared on Hollywood Squares next year as a celebrity panelist.
Gorney returned to acting in the early 1990s after a long absence, directing an art gallery in Manhattan, New York, and Creating Karma (2006), and returning to All My Children in 1995 in cameo positions. She has appeared in a number of television shows, including Law & Order, The Sopranos, and Six Degrees, as well as producing independent films and off-Broadway shows.
She has appeared on numerous disco documentaries and specials, including Get Down Tonight: The Disco Explosion, which she co-hosted with Saturday Night Fever choreographer Deney Terrio for PBS, due to her association with disco music and her prominent role in Saturday Night Fever. As she appeared with co-star John Travolta on Saturday Night Fever in 1977, Gorney and Terrio danced to Bee Gees' hit single "More Than a Woman." She appeared on VH1's When Disco Ruled the World and was interviewed for the disco video documentary Disco: Spinning the Story. Gorney played an uncredited part as an announcer in the film 'Men in Black.'
On September 28, she appeared on ITV1's lunchtime programme Loose Women (a topical debate programme from a woman's viewpoint) in the United Kingdom, assisting in the launch of the film Saturday Night Fever and the Bee Gees' latest Hits album.
In the 2008 independent film Dear J, she was cast as the Judge.
