Biography
Hailing from Hudson County, New Jersey, where she was born on January 18, 1884, Edwina Robbins emerged as a dual-threat talent in the nascent days of cinema. As both a scribe and a screen performer, Robbins became a recognizable fixture of the mid-1910s, notably gracing 'The Win(k)some Widow' (1914) before taking on the narratives of 1915's 'The Man Who Couldn't Beat God' and 'The Turn of the Road.' Though her personal life was anchored by her marriage to Henry B. Robbins, her time in the spotlight was tragically brief. She drew her final breath in Brooklyn, New York, on December 12, 1916, leaving behind a short but luminous cinematic portfolio.
