After starting out in modeling, Robin Givens began her career on television on "The Bill Cosby Show". From there, her TV career has included roles on "Moesha," "Diff'rent Strokes," "In the House," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "Cosby," "DAG" as well as numerous appearances on "The Howard Stern Show". Her most notable television role was that of Darlene Merriman in the TV sitcom "Head of the Class".

Chicago, which opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on November 14th 1996, has reached a run of over 3,850 performances at the Ambassador Theatre (215 W. 49th St.); the show is the longest-running revival in Broadway history. Chicago received 6 1997 Tonys (including Best Revival of a Musical) under the direction of Walter Bobbie and the choreography of star Ann Reinking. The revival, based on Bobbie's stylistically stripped-down Encores! staging, featured direction and choreography by Bob Fosse in its original 1975 production. Chicago features a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, and a book by Ebb and Bob Fosse.
