Biography
Louise Ann Robey was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1960, the
daughter of an Air Force Major and a London stage actress. Robey
was educated in schools throughout Europe, and learned a number of
languages while also developing her talents in dance, music and
painting. At age 15, she studied dance at the London Royal Academy
of Ballet, then returned to Canada hoping to pursue a career in
music and dance. In 1979, while sunbathing on the French Riviera,
Robey was spotted by the famed photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue,
who photographed her and got her a 12-page spread in "Vogue Paris"
that same year. Those pictures launched Robey on a successful
modeling career. Robey moved to America during the early 1980s and
formed a band in New York under the name "Louise and the Creeps."
They broke up before they recorded anything, but Robey persevered.
In 1984, Robey landed a recording contract on the Silver Blue
Label. Her debut album, "Robey" was released; it contained 8
tracks, including one which became the album's first single, the
wildly popular hit "One Night In Bangkok." This song reached #5 on
the Billboard Dance Chart in late 1984, but from the way it was
played on radio stations all over America, it seemed more popular
than that, with its great beat, and lyrics of a far-off land, and
risqué nights. Other singles followed. Beautiful Robey was a
natural for TV, and in 1987 she landed her signature role of Micki
Foster in "Friday the 13th: The Series" which ran for 3 seasons and
72 episodes. Robey was out of the spotlight for 1991 but returned
in 1992 with the erotic thriller _Play Nice (1992)_ (qv). In 1994,
Robey married Charles Francis Topham de Vere Beauclerk, Lord of
Burford (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. Their marriage ended in early
2001, and the two share custody of their son. Robey toured the UK
briefly in the summer of 2000 with I.E. Soul. In January 2001,
Robey began recording with producer Mark Harwood at Spring Vale
Studios in Suffolk, UK. Robey also has her own rock band Fourman
Fubar, and is involved in a dance music project titled "A Guy
Called Dready." Robey is still fondly remembered for "Friday the
13th: The Series," which is being rerun in syndication. Robey got
where she is today by hard work, though her fans might say the
results are nothing short of magical.
