Robin Wright

[WheresMyUmbrella]

Either she's massively underrated or I have a soft spot for The Princess Bride.

Her (poorly-written) Wikipedia bio:

Robin Wright was born Robin Gayle Wright in Dallas, Texas, the daughter of Gayle (née Gaston), an Independent Executive National Sales Director for Mary Kay cosmetics, and Freddie Gayle Wright, a pharmaceutical executive. She was raised in San Diego, California.

Robin Wright first became famous on television, playing Kelly Capwell on the soap opera "Santa Barbara," which earned her 3 Emmy-nominations. She shot to stardom after her roles as Buttercup in The Princess Bride and Jenny Curran in Forrest Gump, the latter role garnering her a Golden Globe Award nomination for best supporting actress.

Robin Wright was offered the role of Maid Marian in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, but had to turn it down because she was pregnant.

In 1996 she married Sean Penn and changed her name to Robin Wright Penn. This name is mentioned in the song "Palace & Main" by Swedish band Kent.

Robin Wright has been involved with actor Sean Penn for over 20 years, marrying on 27 April 1996. Their daughter Dylan Frances was born on 13 April 1991 and son Hopper Jack was born on 6 August 1993. Currently they live in Ross, California.

Penn is the national campaign spokesperson for the Myasthenia Gravis.

She has a nice style I'm surprised her page isn't updated more. Here are some various candids from over the years.

Thanks for those pictures. Robin is a great actress in her own right and she looked amazing at the Oscars!

She did look good at the Oscars but there was sooo much black that it didn't do much for me. And with Sean in all black, it made it worse but she did look good.
