One of Randall’s earliest movie roles came in 1990 when she played Mary Catherine in the Whoopi Goldberg and Sissy Spacek civil rights drama The Long Walk Home.

Randall’s work on TV consisted of mostly minor recurring roles. In 1990, she had a recurring spot as Randa Oliver in the female-led sitcom, Designing Women. The following year, she appeared on an episode of the period-set western drama The Young Riders.
In the same year, she had a minor supporting role in yet another period-set family drama, Sarah, Plain, and Tall, which was based on Patricia Maclachlan’s novel of the same name.
By 1992 she had starred in her first made-for-TV movie, In the Best Interest of the Children. In it, she played one of five siblings caught in a custody battle between their biological mother, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, and their foster mother, portrayed by Sally Struthers.
In 1993, Randall played the part of Klara in the two-part made-for-TV movie Heidi, which is set in 1881 and based on the novel of the same name. During the same year, she reprised her role as Anna Witting in the TV movie Skylark, the sequel to Sarah, Plain, and Tall.
In her third TV movie that year, Randall was featured in another family drama, Miracle Child, where she played Taffy Marshall. The movie was based on Patricia Pendergraft’s novel Miracle at Clement’s Pond.
In 1995, Randall appeared in the Nickelodeon anthology horror series Are You Afraid of the Dark?, playing Cindy in “The Tale of the Mystical Mirror”.
