Robin Ignico was born on August 20, 1970, in Clearwater, Florida.[1] She started singing and dancing as a small child, making her first TV appearance in Trapper John, M.D. in 1979, at the age of nine.

[edit] Acting career

Robin made several TV and film appearances from 1979 to 1986, including performances in the TV show Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, as well as the series Voyagers! She is no longer in show business, and works in finance for a large corporation.[2]

Robin, Aileen Quinn and Angela Lee were the final three girls up for the role of Annie, in the 1982 film. Quinn eventually won the role, while Robin was given the part of Duffy. Angela Lee had the misfortune of resembling Aileen too much, so was only given a role as an extra. Near the beginning of Hard-Knock Life, the film shows a girl sound asleep on her feet at the top of the stairs. This is Angela Lee.[3]
