Rhonda Lee (Leslie Easterbrook) is a tall, voluptuous ditzy blonde actress/singer/dancer/model trying to make it big. She is Laverne and Shirley's neighbor and a regular character after they move to Burbank. Egotistical and often insensitive, sometimes approaching the point of boorishness, Rhonda usually (always?) refers to herself in the third person, by her first name. A woman taller than both Laverne and Shirley, Rhonda often bursts into Laverne and Shirley's apartment (occasionally at inopportune times, much like Lenny and Squiggy often do) to borrow things without really asking and to brag about her social engagements or romantic dates with desirable men with the intention of making the girls envious, which sometimes works. Therefore, she is generally an antagonist of Laverne and Shirley, although at some times she behaves as a friend.
