American film actress Robin Wright is known around the world for her work in the soap opera Santa Barbara and the popular political series House of Cards. In addition, she has repeatedly tried on the role of producer and director.
Biography and career
The full name of the American actress is Robin Virginia Gale Wright. She was born in 1966 in Dallas. Her father was a pharmacist and her mother was a sales director for the cosmetics and perfumery company Mary Kay.
The girl liked her appearance from childhood. Confident in her data, she went to work in a modeling agency, where every year she achieved more and more heights. From the age of 14, she traveled to other countries as a model. Despite the fact that the profession of a model suited her, she felt that her vocation was in 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 going to different castings. Basically, 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 long. After just 4 years, she left the television series to rise to the next level and star in big movies. This choice was not made in vain, because in 1994 she got one of the main roles in the drama Forrest Gump, which won six Academy Awards. 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 stars alongside Kevin Spacey. She still acts as a model, advertising some clothing brands.
Personal life
In 1984, while working on the set of Santa Barbara, Robin Wright met her first love. Dane Witherspoon, an actor who played a minor role in the first season of the series, became his lover. The couple legalized their relationship very quickly, getting engaged in 1986, but also quickly ended their relationship. Their marriage only lasted two years.
A year after the first breakup, the actress began dating Sean Penn, an American actor and ex-husband of Madonna. In 1991, Wright was pregnant with him and gave birth to her first child, and in 1993, her second. But the couple legalized their relationship only in 1996. Both partners are very busy in film careers and have a rather impulsive nature, so they have repeatedly reported to the press about their quarrels, partings and reconciliations. They also filed for divorce on multiple occasions. The last and final such gesture was the final divorce in 2010.
In 2012, Robin Wright began dating an actor 15 years her junior, Ben Foster. As in the case of previous relationships, the actress announced her engagement and parting with a partner more than once, but in 2015 they finally broke up.
The actress is currently in a relationship with a young 30-year-old manager from Yves Saint Laurent. The media more than once wrote that the couple signed in March 2018, but the partners themselves do not comment or confirm this news in any way.
