Biography/Timeline

1953

Robinson began his acting career in summer stock theatre and repertory companies, and eventually made his way to the Broadway stage, where he appeared in Shakespeare's As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing, as well as several other plays by the age of 19. His first film role was as the notorious Emperor Caligula in The Robe (1953), which he reprised in Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954).

1955

This was followed by roles in a variety of films, including The Virgin Queen (1955) starring Bette Davis, My Man Godfrey (1957) with David Niven and June Allyson, Woody Allen's comedy Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (1972), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). He was also featured on two Folkways albums of Shakespeare: Othello: william Shakespeare and William Shakespeare: King Richard III, which were both released in 1964.

1958

His new-found Celebrity after appearing in The Robe and its sequel Demetrius and the Gladiators reportedly went to his head, and he became extremely difficult to work with. In addition the volatile actor began experimenting recklessly with drugs. He was arrested and booked in 1958 for possession of narcotics (methadone) and after a trial sentenced to a year in jail; his conviction was overturned on appeal, however. While free on bail, the incident and resulting bad press ruined his acting career.

1960

Robinson was married twice: to Pauline Flowers from 1960 until her death in 2002 and to Gloria Casas from 2004 until his death. He had one son with Flowers.

Resuming work in obscure bit parts, he had another career relapse when he was forced to spend 15 months in jail after all for an old warrant served on him for unknowingly missing a court date during his earlier retrial. Robinson credited letters of encouragement from friend Bette Davis with helping him find the strength to overcome his problems. She helped him get his first film role in 13 years, in 1971's Bunny O'Hare.
