Happy Birthday Robin Wright!

Happy Birthday Robin Wright!  Of course we know her as Princess Buttercup in Princess Bride (1987), but Wright started on the soap opera Santa Barbara.  Her first film role was actually in Penelope Spheeris’ Hollywood Vice Squad (1986).  She was Jenny in Forrest Gump (1994).  Wright also played Audrey Dunn in Unbreakable (2000).  She provided the voice of Walthow in the animated Beowulf (2007).  She was in the drama Moneyball (2011) and also the thriller adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo (2011).  Wright begun her award winning run on House of Cards as Claire Underwood in 2013.   


Also that year, she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress for the part.  Wright had an incredible year in 2017, as General Antiope in Wonder Woman, and played Lieutenant Joshi in Blade Runner 2049, two of my favorite movies!  Then, she returned as Antiope in Justice League.  There is the comparison of another character turned princess to general. She took the lead role in House of Cards becoming President of the United States.  Wright appeared as Antiope in Wonder Woman 1984.  This year, she wrote and directed the drama Land.  She played Edee Mathis surviving the Wyoming wilderness.  Happy Birthday Robin Wright!
