\"Photo<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, in the December issue of Andy Warhol’s Interview<\/em> magazine, is Robin getting her fifteen minutes. A gorgeous glamor photo by photographer Peter Strongwater, and a stunningly non-realistic description of Times Square’s<\/em> success… Robin was truly the toast of New York, for at least as long as it took to read the text on page 15:<\/p>\n

ROBIN JOHNSON<\/strong><\/p>\n

A native New York skeptic, ROBIN JOHNSON thought she was being handed another line when a talent scout for ROBERT STIGWOOD\u2019s TIMES SQUARE approached her on the steps of Brooklyn Technological High School and said, \u201cHey kid, ya wanna be in pictures?\u201d Winning the role away from hundreds of professionals, Robin was instantly immersed in twelve weeks of movie star training\u2014all singing, all dancing, all talking. Now, Robin and co-stars TIM CURRY and TRINI ALVARADO have hit it big as TIMES SQUARE draws rave reviews and long lines. … Photograph by PETER STRONGWATER. . . .Hair by STEPHANE LEMPIRE. .

 <\/p>\n

And, that’s all I have to say about this. The photo speaks for itself. Despite Times Square’s<\/em> failure, she would have been one of the biggest stars of the 1980s had Robert Stigwood not put the brakes on her career just as it was getting started. Whether that would have been a good or bad thing for her, well, who’s to say, but it would have been terrific for Us Her Fans. But, I’m getting ahead of myself… Times Square<\/em> has only just opened, and she still has a publicity tour to do.
