Toby Robins

Toby Robins (March 13, 1931 — March 21, 1986) was a Canadian actress of film, stage and television.
Robins starred in hundreds of radio and stage productions in Canada from the late 1940s through the 1960s, working with such performers as Jane Mallett, Barry Morse, John Drainie, Ruth Springford, and James Doohan among others. She appeared in a number of television and film roles beginning in the mid-1950s, and hosted the first-ever CBC Television series, ''The Big Revue'' in 1952. In Toronto she played in repertory with Lorne Greene, Mavor Moore, and Don Harron. At the Crest Theatre she played the leading parts in ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'', ''Dream Girl'' and many others.
Robins became a popular television personality as an original member of the cast of the long-running CBC television series ''Front Page Challenge'' in 1957, remaining with the program until 1961. Originally hosted by Alex Barris and later Fred Davis, ''Front Page Challenge'' was a current events series disguised as a panel-style game show in a similar format to the American ''What's My Line?''. Panelists had to guess the news story or person behind a news story by asking questions of the guest; after the game portion, the guest was then interviewed informally by the panel.
Although Robins was initially criticized for asking simple and sometimes unintelligent questions,〔Barris, Alex. Front Page Challenge: The 25th Anniversary (Toronto: CBC Books, 1981).〕 she soon found her journalistic sea legs and before long was holding her own alongside the more experienced journalists, including her co-panellists Gordon Sinclair and Pierre Berton. She left the series in a salary dispute in 1961 and was replaced by future senator Betty Kennedy (who remained with the show until its demise in the 1990s). Robins returned to the show from time to time as a guest panelist.
In 1964 Robins relocated to London and she appeared in a number of film and television productions, including ''Space: 1999'' (the two-parter "The Bringers of Wonder", which was later re-issued as the television film ''Destination Moonbase Alpha'') and in 1981 she played Melina Havelock's ill-fated mother in the James Bond film ''For Your Eyes Only'' (1981). She appeared in an episode of ''Minder'' entitled ''The Willesden Suite'', broadcast in February 1984.〔(Profile ), radiotimes.com; accessed January 26, 2014.〕 In London she appeared in such dramas onstage as ''The Relapse'', ''The Latent Heterosexual'', ''Flip Side'', and ''The Aspern Papers''.
==Death==
Toby Robins died from breast cancer in 1986, one week after her 55th birthday. In 1991, her family founded the Breakthrough Toby Robins Breast Cancer Centre in London, which was opened in 1999 by HRH The Prince of Wales, with the aim of producing a coordinated program of research to tackle breast cancer. It is the first dedicated breast cancer research centre in the United Kingdom, and directly linked to one of the most renowned cancer facilities in the world, the Royal Marsden Hospital.
