A brief biography of Robin Givens primarily reports about her as one of America's sexiest actresses. This is an ex-model that has been shot repeatedly for Playboy magazine. Not everyone knows that she also tried herself in the writing field. Robin wrote an autobiographical book, which was published in 2007.
A family
American Robin Givens was born on November 27, 1964 in New York. Mother - Ruth Roper, father - Reben Givens. For a long time, the marriage of her parents did not last. They divorced when Robin was only two years old. She has a sister. After the divorce, the mother took the children with her to New Rochelle.
Childhood
Mother always encouraged an interest in art in her daughters. Robin began to learn to play the violin. But this was not her vocation, and such lessons quickly bored her. When Robin was ten years old, she began to attend acting classes. She liked it a lot more than playing a musical instrument. The mother did not object to her daughter's hobbies, and the girl was able to get a lot of experience in the courses, which was very useful to her in adulthood.
Education
She studied at Robin Givens College Sarah Lawrence. After graduating, she entered Harvard School of Art and Science. In it, she completed medical courses. While studying, she often worked as a model.
Career model
The girl’s creative career began in 1978. At first she tried herself in the modeling business. She starred in photo shoots for glossy magazines. Since Robin was bright in her youth, she was very much in demand. But still she managed to combine the work of the model with study. For her, it was only a certain stage of creative training.
Movie career
For the first time, Robin got into the film industry only in the eighty-fifth year. Her debut took place on the set of the series "Various moves." But first only in episodes. Then she got a small role in the Cosby Show. This was followed by more serious work - in the film "Madame of Beverly Hills."
But Robin Givens, whose films later became a favorite not only among many Americans, but around the world, wanted to achieve more. She wanted to act in larger projects. And luck finally smiled at her. In 1986, she was offered a role in the series "Master Class". He went on the air for 5 years. Robin played the role of Darlene. But in the same period, she simultaneously starred in the historical series.
The next work - in a mini-series, together with one of the most popular black American women - Oprah Winfrey. In 1994, a photograph of Robin appeared in Playboy. She got on the list of one of the sexiest movie actresses. In the second half of the 90s there were no new ratings. But Robin again reminded herself when she starred in the Brexton video.
In total, Givens starred in more than fifty-five films. And in small episodes, and in TV shows, and in individual films.
Personal life
Robin Givens married twice. But both her marriages were fleeting and did not bring her happiness. The first time she married world-famous boxer Mike Tyson. The wedding took place in 1988. But they lived in marriage for only a few months. Robin said that after a miscarriage, the boxer began to beat her. Tyson, for his part, argued that this was not true and Robin just wants money.
Twenty years after their separation, he announced the real reason for their divorce. It turned out that Robin Givens and Brad Pitt were lovers. At that time it was just a beginner and little-known actor. As soon as Tyson found out about their connection, a divorce followed.
Tyson had to pay his ex-wife ten million dollars. Robin, in turn, lost a large audience of African-Americans who idolized the boxer. They just started to hate Robin.
The second time she married a tennis instructor - Svetozar Marinkovich. The couple managed to quarrel on the very first day of marriage. As a result, they almost immediately began to live separately. Official divorce followed only a year later.
Robin Givens has two children. She adopted her first child in 1993. This is Michael Givens. She gave birth to a second child out of wedlock in 1999. His father was Murphy Jensen, with whom the actress met for a while, but before the wedding, they still did not get it.
