Biography:African American model/actress "Robin Givens" first gained national prominence as a regular on the TV series Head of the Class. From 1986 through 1991, Robin played Darlene Merriman, a prep-school type attending a high school honors program. Though she was but one of an ensemble, Givens's participation in the series was hyped by the network on the occasion of her marriage to boxing champ "Mike Tyson". The marriage ended in divorce, after only a few years, amidst accusations of brutality and infidelity. Givens has proven she is not merely an adjunct to Mike Tyson's fame with excellent performances in such TV and movie projects as "The Women of Brewster Place" (1989) and "A Rage in Harlem" (1991), and the TV series Courthouse. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
