Biography and career
The full name of the American actress is Robin Virginia Gail Wright. She was born in 1966 in Dallas. Her father was a pharmacist, and her mother worked as a sales director for Mary Kay, a cosmetics and perfume company.
Since childhood, the girl liked her appearance. Being confident in her data, she went to work in a modeling agency, where every year she achieved greater heights. From the age of 14 she traveled to other countries as a model. Despite the fact that the profession of the model suited her, she felt that her vocation was something else. After much thought, she decided that she wanted to devote her life not to modeling, but to acting.
In high school, Robin began to go to various auditions. Mostly her choice fell on soap operas and melodramas. She got her debut role at the age of 18 in the series "Yellow Rose". The role was small and episodic, but the effect was colossal. The girl was noticed by the producers of the popular project "Santa Barbara" and was invited to work in the series.
Wright quickly gained popularity and many awards, but did not linger on the series for a long time. After only 4 years, she left the television series to rise to a new level and star in a big movie. Such a choice was not made in vain, because in 1994 she received one of the main roles in the drama "Forrest Gump", which was awarded six victories in the Academy Award. After this year, the actress became truly famous, and her fees increased many times over.
Currently, the popular American actress not only plays in TV shows and movies, but also works as a producer and director of the political series "House of Cards", in which she plays the main role with Kevin Spacey. She still acts as a model, advertising some clothing brands.
