Robey was educated throughout Europe and attended the Royal Ballet School.[2]  Discovered by French photographerJacques Henri Lartigue while sunbathing in the French Riviera, Robey began modeling and appeared in Vogue. After moving to the United States in the early 1980s, she fronted the group Louise and the Creeps. Though the group soon broke up, in 1984, Robey landed a record deal.[3]  She recorded a self-titled album, which yielded a hit, a cover of "One Night in Bangkok," one of Benny Andersson's, Björn Ulvaeus's, and Tim Rice's songs from the musical Chess.[4]  The single peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[5]  B-side was "Bored & Beautiful". Both songs mixed and arranged by Shep Pettibone and produced by Joel Diamond for Silver Blue Productions.

Robey had small roles in The Money Pit and Raw Deal before landing the role for which she may be best known, that of Michelle "Micki" Foster, niece of antiques dealer Lewis Vendredi, on the 1987-1990 syndicated horror series Friday the 13th: The Series, which [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Mancuso,_Jr. Frank Mancuso Jr.] produced. The show, filmed in Canada, ran for three seasons. Robey's character, Micki Foster, was a young woman who had inherited an antique shop from Lewis Vendredi (R. G. Armstrong), her estranged uncle. When the antiques in the shop proved to have been cursed by the devil, it came to be up to Micki, Ryan Dallion (John D. LeMay), her cousin by marriage, and family friend Jack Marshak (Chris Wiggins) to hunt down and recover these antiques before they could kill, or cause the damnations of the souls of, anyone else.[6]  Robey also had a starring role in the film Play Nice.[7]
