Biography Filmography Links Contact Galleries
Date of birth: 14 March 1960,
Birth Place: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Louise Ann Robey was born in Canada in 1960. During her teen years she was educated throughout Europe. Her first break into showbusiness came in 1979 when she was sunbathing on the French Riveria. She was noticed by some important French photographer and he got her a 12 page spread in Vogue Paris the same year. She moved to America during the early 80's and formed a band in New York under the name Louise and the Creeps. They broke up before they ever recorded a note, but Robey trucked on. In 1984 she landed a recording contract on the Silver Blue Label, an imprint through CBS Records. That same year her debut album, "Robey" was released! This is where Robey's career took off..
In 1984, Robey landed a recording contract on the Silver Blue Label, an imprint through CBS Records. That same year her debut album, "Robey" was released! It contained only 8 tracks (Turn My Head, The Right Combination, One Night In Bangkok, One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, Killer Instinct, Tighter Tighter, Bored And Beautiful, and Moth To A Flame). The album's first single was "One Night In Bangkok" which was a hit in the dance chart hitting number 5 on the Billboard Dance Chart in late 1984. In early 1985, the second single from the album, "Killer Instinct" was released. After that, came "Moth To A Flame," both of which charted in the dance chart.
The next year Robey released a double A-sided single "Hungry For You, Boy" and "Be Mine (Be My Baby)" as well as "I Surrender" on the Chrysalis Record label. Robey's other singles include, "Black Magic Woman,'" a unique take on the Santana classic. "Paris Paree," may have also been a single, but for now all I know is that it was the B-side for "I Surrender."
It's recently come to my attention (from an article on The 13th Hour) that Robey won acclaim from a producer shortly after the release of "Paris Paree." He liked the song very much but prodicted that the song would not become a hit. He was right.
In 1986, Robey was cast in a small role in the Tom Hanks/Shelley Long vehicle "The Money Pit." Her role was credited as "Female Vocalist" and she performed the song "Web Of Desire" with White Lion for the movie. There are rumours of a cut scene with Robey floating around. Also, that year Robey won the part of "Lamanski's Girl" in "Raw Deal." Her part was severely cut for the film. She had one scene that made it into the film. Her "sugar daddy" in the film is played by the same guy that plays Adam the main D.A. on "Law And Order."
In 1987, Robey landed the part of Micki Foster in Paramount's "Friday The 13th: The Series." She played the character for a duration of 72 episodes until May of 1990. Visit The 13th Hour for all kinds of information on the show. I could never come close to gathering half of the information available there!
Robey was out of the spotlight for 1991 but returned in 1992 with the erotic thriller "Play Nice." Robey stars as Jill Crane who falls in love with a cop who is working a murder case that involves a female killer. Without giving anything away, Lou is not as nice as she appears.
In an article that appeared in "Femme Fetales" magazine Robey expressed her concerns over the film. At first she was excited to be involved in the lead role in an intriguing film. But, Robey explains that they were pressed for time when it came to shooting and she believes the director didn't do as good of a job as was necessary to make a quality film. There was also a controversy over Robey, her manager, and a clash with the director of the film, Terri Treas. They had a public battle over the film with documents in "Femme Fetales" magazine. For more information, check out the articles section. Unfortunately (but maybe not surprisingly), "Play Nice" flopped and Robey would soon drop from the spotlight to get married and start a family.
Quick Editor's NotePlay Nice is not, was not, and will never be pornography. If you've seen the film, you know how crazy this claim it. While it may not be a prize winning film, it's far from awful. It's obvious by watching it Louise is a genuine star. But, also, the film is a perfect example of how difficult it is to make a film when things don't come together as planned, whoever is to blame.
Robey married Charles Francis Topham de Vere Beauclerk, Lord of Burford in 1994. Burford is a small town near Oxford in the United Kingdom. Robey's marriage to the Earl has made her Countess of Burford. They have one son, James. Unfortunately, their marriage came to an end in early 2001, and the two hope to share custody of their son.
In December 2000, and January 2001, Louise began
recording with acclaimed producer Mark Harwood at SpringVale Studios in
Suffolk, UK.. She toured the UK briefly in the summer of 2000 with I.E.
Soul. Louise is also involved with her own rock band Fourman Fubar. She
has replaced the old lead vocalist. Robey is also involved in a dance
music project titled A Guy Called Dready! In addition to all of the above,
Robey is also making an appearance in a film entitled "Cradle of
Fear" in which she plays a nurse!
