Louise Ann Robey (born March 14, 1960) is a Canadian singer, model, and actress.

Early life and career

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Robey was educated throughout Europe, including a stint at the Royal Ballet School. [ [http://www.northernstars.ca/actorspqr/robey_louise.html Northernstars.ca] ] Discovered by French photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue while sunbathing in the French Rivera, Robey began modeling and appeared in "Vogue". After moving back to the United States in the early 1980s, she fronted the group Louise and the Creeps. The group soon broke up and in 1984, Robey landed a record deal. She recorded an eponymous album, which yielded a semi-hit, a cover of Tim Rice's song from the musical "Chess" called "One Night in Bangkok".

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 "," which Frank Mancuso Jr. produced. The show, filmed in Canada, ran for three seasons. Robey played a young woman who has inherited an antique shop from Lewis Vendredi (R. G. Armstrong), her estranged uncle. When it turns out the antiques in the shop are cursed by the devil, it is up to Robey, Ryan (John D. LeMay) her cousin by marriage, and family friend Jack Marshak {Chris Wiggins) to hunt down these antiques before they can kill anyone else. [imdb title|0092357|title=Friday the 13th: The Series] Robey's only known other notable role to date was a starring turn in the film "Play Nice," in which she appeared nude.
