Kimmy Robertson

Kimmy Robertson began her career as a ballet dancer but her distinctive sense of humor and quirky style brought her to the attention of an agent who happened to work in the same office as her ballet company. After at first being unsure about becoming an actor, Kimmy was then hired for the first role she auditioned for in the teen comedy The Last American Virgin (1982). She then returned to ballet but appeared in the occasional film such as Chérie, j'ai rétréci les gosses (1989) and Maman est un loup-garou (1989) before being cast as the Sheriff's ditsy secretary, Lucy, in the groundbreaking TV series Mystères à Twin Peaks (1990). Creators Mark Frost and David Lynch recognized Kimmy's comedic talent and exploited it by encouraging her to ad-lib her lines, some of which turned into the funniest moments of the series. Since then, she has appeared in such films as Disney's La Belle et la Bête (1991), Speed 2 : Cap sur le danger (1997) and Stuart Little (1999).
