Betty Lee "Randi" Oakes (born August 19, 1951) is an American actress and fashion model. Active in the 1970s and early 1980s, she is probably best known for her role as Officer Bonnie Clark on the television series CHiPs, a role she played from 1979 to 1982. Married to actor Gregory Harrison since 1980, Oakes retired from acting when her first child was born in 1985.

I can't imagine getting married, and I just don't have the time. I get up at four o'clock in morning, and go to work at five. I don't get home until eight o'clock at night.
