Louise Ann Robey was born in Montreal, Quebec on March14. During her teen years she was educated throughout Europe including classes at the Royal Ballet School. Her first break into showbusiness came in 1979 when she was sunbathing on the French Riveria. She was noticed by Jacques Henri Lartigue and the subsequent photographs turned into a 12 page spread in Vogue Paris the same year.She moved to America during the early 80's and formed a band in New York under the name Louise and the Creeps. They recorded several songs including "Movin' and Grooving" and "My Impression."In 1984,Louise Robey landed a recording contract on the Silver Blue Label, an imprint through CBS Records. That same year her debut album, "Robey" was released.It contained 8 pop/dance tracks. The album's first single was "One Night In Bangkok" which was a hit in the dance chart hitting number 5 on the Billboard Dance Chart in late 1984. In early 1985, the second single from the album, "Killer Instinct" was released. After that, came "Moth To A Flame," both of which charted in the dance chart.The next year Robey released a double A-sided single "Hungry For You, Boy" and "Be Mine (Be My Baby)" as well as "I Surrender" on the Chrysalis Record label. Robey's other singles include, "Black Magic Woman,'" a unique take on the Santana classic. "Paris Paree," the B-Side for "I Surrender," hold a special place in Louise's musical journey.In 1986, Robey was cast in a small role in the Tom Hanks/Shelley Long vehicle "The Money Pit." Her role was credited as "Female Vocalist" and she performed the song "Web Of Desire" with White Lion for the movie. There are rumours of a cut scene with Robey floating around.Also, that year Robey won the part of "Lamanski's Girl" in "Raw Deal." Her part was severely cut for the film. She had one scene that made it into the final cut of the film.In 1987, Robey landed her signature role: Micki Foster in Paramount's "Friday The 13th: The Series." She played the character for a duration of 72 episodes until May of 1990.Robey was out of the spotlight for 1991 but returned in 1992 with the erotic thriller "Play Nice." Robey stars as Jill Crane who falls in love with a cop who is working a murder case that involves a female killer. Without giving anything away, Louise's character is not as nice as she appears.In an article that appeared in "Femme Fetales" magazine Robey expressed her concerns over the film. At first she was excited to be involved in the lead role in an intriguing film. But, Robey explains that they were pressed for time when it came to shooting and she believes the director didn't do as good of a job as was necessary to make a quality film. There was also a controversy over Robey, her manager, and a clash with the director of the film, Terri Treas. They had a public battle over the film with documents in "Femme Fetales" magazine. Unfortunately (but maybe not surprisingly), "Play Nice" flopped and Robey would soon drop from the spotlight to get married and start a family.Robey married Charles Francis Topham de Vere Beauclerk, Lord of Burford in 1994. 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. Unfortunately, their marriage came to an end in early 2001, and the two share custody of their son.In December 2000, and January 2001, Louise began recording with acclaimed producer Mark Harwood at SpringVale Studios in Suffolk, UK.. She toured the UK briefly in the summer of 2000 with I.E. Soul. Louise iwas also involved with her own rock band Fourman Fubar. In the early 2000's Robey was also involved in a dance music project titled A Guy Called Dready!Louise currently splits her time between New York and France. She's currently working on several music projects and photography projects with world renowned photographer, Stan Shaffer.********************NOW AS OF 2008************************* Updates and News Section. ************************NEWS******************************* As of 2008 Louise Robey lives in Aquitaine France and is still recording music,on March 22nd 2008 Louise married long time boyfriend Stan Shaffer in an intimate service.

It was recorded on location at my home in France by my friend Tony Bacchetta and he also did the rough mix in his studio nearby. I will be doing final mixing and some changes in the next weeks. I think it's funky and will make people dance sexy and close to each other like The 2 Checkoslovakian "Sexy Guys" from Saturday Night Live...which is what it's all about. Some of the inspiration for the song came from one of my favorite films "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest...." ******************************************************** Another Update from Louise Robey on Aug 12, 2008 2:16 AM and She talks about my little Ol'fan site I made in her Honor!This woman is SO kind, you all don't even know! ******************************************************** "my new fan site...

Here is the link to listen to it: http://www.revengeofthe80sradio.com/wp-content/uploads/Rev02 2709h2.mp3Louise Robey, who scored several dance hits in the 1980s including her rendition of “One Night in Bangkok,†was also well-known for her role as “Micki Foster†on the TV show Friday the 13th - The Series. Robey has led a very interesting life and has had a diverse career. She is also coming out with new music. Robey has a vocal range of five octaves, a talent that was found out not long after she was first discovered as a model. After her first band, Louise and the Creeps, broke up she found success as a solo artist as “Robey.†While actor Murray Head’s version of “One Night in Bangkok†got most of the promotion and airplay in the U.S., Louise’s take on it, which had a touch of her patented elegance, hit #5 on the Billboard Dance charts and spent time in the Top 100. She also had a number of other memorable tracks, including “Killer Instinct,†“Paris Paree†and a beautifully done cover of the 70s soul hit “Tighter, Tigher.†On Friday the 13th - The Series, Robey did not allow the character of Micki Foster to become the typical cardboard female science-fiction character. She gave life to a role that was supposed to be the girl sidekick to John P. LeMay. It can be argued that without Robey’s portrayal of Micki Foster, there might not have been future female sci-fi characters with more personality and background like Gillian Anderson’s “Scully†from the X-Files. On that subject, Louise Robey says: “If they wanted the girl next door, they should have hired her.†Louise is back in the studio these days and lives in France with her husband, well-known photographer Stan Shaffer. Together, they with fan club Guru Robert Emery formed this special artists’ Open Forum to help creative talent protect their work from potential rip-offs and the possibility of being cut out of residuals from their music, art, acting presence and intellectual property. Her new music will be released very soon. Shaffer has a book comming out, You Should Have Been With Me, and there is a website for his photographic work at youshouldhavebeenwithme.com
