Born in Philadelphia, Sue Randall was the younger of two children of Marion Burnside (née Heist) and Roland Rodrock Randall, a prominent real-estate consultant.[2][3] She began acting on stage at the age of 10 in a production of the Alden Park Players.[4] In 1953 she completed her early education at the Lankenau School for Girls in the Germantown District of Philadelphia and then moved to New York, where she attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, graduating with honors.[4][5]
