Golden Globe-winning and Emmy nominated actor and director Robin Wright chooses two more songs on this week's Tracks Of My Years.
Best known for her award-winning role in House of Cards and much-loved movies such as Forest Gump and The Princess Bride, Robin started out as a model aged 14 and has been acting since the early 80s.
Having got her big break aged 18 in the TV soap 'Santa Barbara', she first drew widespread attention for her titular role in 'The Princess Bride', and since then she's become beloved by audiences for roles in films like Forrest Gump, Moneyball, Wonder Woman and Blade Runner 1949, and TV shows including State Of Play, Empire Falls and her Golden Globe-winning role in House Of Cards.
As a director, she's worked on Ozark and the films The Dark Of Night and Land, and now she's directing AND starring in a new project - the psychological thriller 'The Girlfriend'. As well as directing, Robin also plays Laura, a protective mother who is deeply suspicious of her son’s new girlfriend Cherry, played by Olivia Cooke.
