Career
Career Beginning
Robin began her acting career when she was barely 20 years old, with a small role in 1970’s “The Krofft Superstar Hour”.
She later landed the role of Joleen Collins in the show “The Incredible Hulk.” Before playing her first starring role of Peggy in the TV show “Family” in 1979, Robin appeared in the TV series “David Cassidy – Man Undercover,” in which she played Carol Summers. She subsequently featured in several films such as “The Asphalt Cowboy,” “Fugitive family,” and “Trouble in High Timber Country”, before she rose to prominence.
Rise to Prominence
1980 saw Robin landing a prominent role in the TV series “Magnum P.I.” which aired for eight seasons, cast as Lex Ziller, and appearing in a number of episodes which caught the public eye with her impressive performance.
As a result, she was cast in several other hit films and TV series, such as playing a lead role in the comedy movie “Stitches” (1985), 1988’s action-comedy film “Big Turnaround,” and in the film “Last Chance” (1999) before the decade ended.
In the early 2000s, she was seen in the films “The Shrink Is In,” “Illusion,” and “Grounded for Life” in 2001, 2004 and in 2005 respectively.
Lately, Robin’s career has started declining – she recently lent her voice to a character named Chief Knuckles in a minor project, 2016’s TV Show “Fantasy Hospital”, after making a cameo appearance in the third season of “Breaking Bad”, portraying a very emotional woman.
Dearden has taken a break from acting, but hasn’t formalized her retirement, although she’s been inactive on screen for several years now.
