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 (1984-1988). Her first film role was actually in Penelope Spheeris’ Hollywood Vice Squad (1986) playing the teenage runaway caught in the crime filled big city. Wright played Gwen Tyler in the Barry Levinson fantasy comedy, Toys (1992) that starred Robin Williams. One of Wright's iconic roles was playing Jenny in Forrest Gump (1994). Moll Flanders (1996) was the lead role played by Wright based on the Daniel Defoe novel. Wright also played Audrey Dunn in Unbreakable (2000). She provided the voice of Walthow in the animated Beowulf (2007).
Robin Wright was in the drama Moneyball (2011) based on the nonfiction book by Michael Lewis. She was also the thriller adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). Wright begun her award winning run on House of Cards as Claire Underwood in 2013. She won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in 2013. 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’s now taking the lead role in House of Cards becoming President of the United States. Wright returned as Antiope in Wonder Woman 1984 (2020). She directed and starred in the drama, Land (2021). Happy Birthday Robin Wright!
