Ann Robinson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the American actress. For the British television host, see Anne Robinson.
Ann Robinson (born May 1, 1935) is an American actress.
She was born in Hollywood, California and began her professional life as a stunt woman. Paramount signed her as an actress in the 1950s, and her first leading role was as "Sylvia Van Buren" in that studio's 1953 film, The War of the Worlds, a role she reprised 35 years later in three episodes of the War of the Worlds television series.
Her career as a leading woman was effectively ended when she eloped to Mexico to marry matador Jaime Bravo, with whom she had two sons Jaime Jr. and Estefan A. Since then she has played minor roles, mainly in science fiction films. The couple divorced in 1967. Bravo died in an automobile accident in 1970. She married real estate broker Joseph Valdez in 1987.
Robinson makes frequent guest appearances at autograph shows and science fiction conventions. She had a cameo appearance in Steven Spielberg's 2005 film War of the Worlds.
Ann was much loved in the community for her legendary Halloween Haunted House, which she held for many years in her Elysian Hills home.
