She used to leave with Keith Carradine but he dumped her for being too needy.

Robin was with Elizabeth Sarnoff during "Deadwood" and "Lost". Some say she got her roles on those shows because of her relationship with Sarnoff.

Actually it was the other way around. Deeply fucked up, and truly crazy but talented. She was obsessed with Cherry Jones for years to the point of harassment which Cherry handled with incredible grace. Started her career by having sex with two very unattractive lesbian casting directors. Lived with Elizabeth Sarnoff of Lost fame and that is how she got her role on Lost. In other words, a user. They met when she was on Deadwood. Very very crazy. Burns through relationships. Leaves a trail of ruin. Was very closeted-to the point where she went to the Emmy's with Keith Caradine as a beard rather than bring her girlfriend. Currently in a lesbian movie and brought her brother to the opening. Also bearded with George Clooney in US Magazine years ago. This one has no ethics, is ruthless and yes, she speaks German as her father was a rich doctor.

The details about her obsession with Cherry are thus: robin had sex with a lesbian casting director who put her in as an understudy in a play Cherry was doing Pride's Crossing by Tina Howe. Robin then joined the cast. Based on her sexual attraction to people who have power, can advance her career and who she wants to be, she became so obsessed with Cherry that robin would burst into tears in rehearsal and run out, Or steal Cherry;s bike. This went on for years and years.

She's not really that talented. She was good in Lost but she's no Glenn Close/Meryl Streep/Jessica Lange.At least she didn't go the Sarah Paulson route and screw anything that can get her a job!Robin also has a complex about being better than other actors. Go figure it's not like she got her roles on sheer talent alone either.

Cherry Jones is cute BUT she's not that cute! Is that what lesbians go gaga for? She seems like a nice woman and she has nice eyes but how did she become such a sugar mama?

I have a question about Maggie Siff that I can't seem to find anywhere. She has said in several different interviews that she is getting married, however she always says the word fiance, never 'he'. Even when she talked about her wedding, same thing. She won't give any names and I can find nothing about it online. Also, she recently had a movie debut at Sundance she was in about a suburban lesbian housewife( played by Robin Weigert) who becomes a prostitute for women. Maggie plays one of the clients of Abby(Robin Weigert). In an interview Maggie said she wanted this role because it was 'close to her heart'. I guess what I want to know is, does anyone else think Maggie Siff might be a lesbian?

by Anonymousreply 29February 14, 2013 4:56 AM

As much as I would love that to be true, Maggie Siff is not a lesbian. She did give an interview a couple of months ago, where she talks about her husband and her marriage in Maine.

Whoever has the crush on RW-- RUN the other way. Agreed w/previous post: she's self-delusional & deceptive. I know 2 good people who (unknowingly) got blown apart the Path of Destruction that is the twisted and certifiably narcy Ms Weigert. Answering a couple questions: One of the casting dirs she slept into jobs with was Cindy Tolan, back in NYC. RW cheated on her, maybe with a professor. Then the Cherry Jones obsession, but RW tells it that she was the one being pursued by CJ (lie). Then she stalked an academic/writer, (Schulman?) but again claims SHE was stalked. RW moves to LA with playwright turned tv writer, Sara, who'd totally supported RW's career during lean years, but on Deadwood now, RW does that weird thing with Carradine (was it an affair or just a beard?), then pursues & has an affair with Liz Sarnoff, screwing around on set, (but in RW's mind it didn't count as an affair 'cause she later told a blindsided Sara about it-- while she dumped her for Liz.) After 2 years, things go south with Liz after RW doesn't get handed a contract lead on "Lost", & RW burns bridges w/the producers on "Life" via diva fits about bad writing & how her character should be better. Liz & RW split. RW immediately starts using&abusing a rich banker in NY who spoils her, but then RW cheats on her with a brief return-seduction of Liz. Liz wises up, cuts off contact with increasingly unstable RW. RW quickly hooks up with another gf she has move in with her, but then claims to feel stifled. Gets rid of this gf by flying to DC for a funeral & fucking a family friend there. RW gets angry that the gf gets mad about this, & kicks her out of their apartment. --Can't make this stuff up. What's super scary is that RW flips every story around 180%, makes herself the victim and then BELIEVES IT. I've witnessed this at a dinner party where she didn't know I knew a couple of her ex-gfs & it's disturbing. RW returns to NY to do "Angels" revival, fucks around, eventually starts affair with a married woman (shock! A writer/director who might help her career!). RW demands this girl (Kristen?) leave her husband for her. RW gets the lead in lesbo hooker film w/Maggie Siff (yep, totally straight) - &, unknown to Kristen, RW has affair with the movie's married LESBIAN director. RW has a few more flings while still shining it on for Kristen. Blinded by love or very shitty luck, Kristen leaves the husband as RW wanted, to start their life together, & the ink isn't even dry on the divorce when RW pulls a Jekyl/Hyde & dumps her. RW's moved on to one, possibly two marks since then. Crazy. Apparently mental illness runs in the family (among the doctors). It would be really sad, except she takes down so many other people with her & isn't getting treated.

I'd just like her to stop taking off her clothes in so many roles.

I dunno about the acting chops-- really inconsistent. Sometimes very compelling moments of genius, but sometimes ridiculous fakey-fakey and I can't believe a line she says. Maybe it depends on the directing? ...Or if she's sleeping with that particular writer? Or a co-star? Or the director? Or each of them over the course of the whole project?

As for the NYU guys, she burns thru a lot of friends, but less so the ones she hasn't slept with. Gay guys in her circle don't have to deal with her turning all crazy psycho bitch on them.

No, not good in bed in the...traditional sense. Unless you're into that sort of...thing.

The seduction is purely psychological. I mean, she's a bit of a predator, and really good at hooking into women who're already vulnerable to her sorts of false masks and manipulations-- especially the generous, high-empathy, provider types, and also the quiet self-haters, and the ones who think they can "rescue" Robin.

The sex is apparently, um, sort of...weird messy and gets into some, well, let's say, exploration of the darker psyche, physicalized. To each their own. Some girls need to replay some twisted stuff to get off, and some girls pee in bed, and who are we to judge?

Sara Hess was Faith Prince's assistant when she met Robin when Faith and Robin were in Noises Off in NY (one example where Robin was not very good.) They got together, moved into her studio and then when Robin got Deadwood, they moved to LA. Robin got Sara a job on Deadwood, as Sara was a failed writer at the time. Now Sara writes for House. So - when Rob dumped her for Liz Sarnoff- Sara did, in a sense, get a settlement.

Yeah, but Rob didn't "get" Sara Hess the freelance job on Deadwood-- you don't end up having a writing career like she does without serious chops. Rob's relationship with Sarnoff got Sara's sample work read, true, but Robin certainly didn't do the work FOR Sara or insist on a job for her. And Sara had been Robin's biggest supporter and advocate for a while...

Still probably not worth being led on, cheated on, lied to and dumped.

OMG this thread is hilarious and awful! Robin Weigert is crazy, yes yes yes. A textbook destructive narcissist!

Somebody told me Robin preys on emotional masochists, but one of the women I know who had to really work to recover from Robin's insanity is super super sweet, totally genuine, and not a masochist. This girl doesn't gossip (unlike me, obviously!) and rarely says a bad word about anyone, but quietly referred to Robin as "one sick skull-fucker". --She'll shit on you and then turn around and blame you for making her do it. "Then come the crocodile tears."

Oh get THIS: Robin had framed a torn out blurb from Us magazine rumoring she and Clooney were dating after "The Good German", (even though he doesn't even talk to her). It's FRAMED on the WALL. Doesn't have a pic of her own mother in the apartment, though.

She really does sound sick, and I feel sorry for all these woman used, chased by this psycho.

by Anonymousreply 55May 11, 2013 12:25 AM

People in the business have been complicit in keeping Robin sick. They used her for her talent but didn't care when her pain and problems became obvious. At one point Andre Gregory tried to help her and sent her to a therapist- but the woman was fixated on Robin's homosexuality and was too limited to see the real problems. Men like David Milch, Tony Kushner, Mike Nichols and Richard Nelson - all had opportunities to help her get into real treatment but did nothing. Over the years various women have tried to coalesce her cohort to some kind of intervention, but each "girlfriend" thought she was the exception and systematically lashed out at the ones coming into understanding about how bad it really was. Cindy was the worst enabler of all, and that's - in a way- the saddest case, because Robin always maintained ties with Cindy because she wanted jobs. And Cindy continued to cast her, even as recently as Rebecca Miller's last film. The women who wanted to blow it all open and get Robin into real treatment were treated like pariahs because Robin was having professional success- and that was all the show biz folks cared about. Efforts that could have helped her were stymied by the business and things that kept her sick dominated. This conversation is the best thing that could happen for her. The less hidden all this is, the more motive she has to be in real treatment. Also, there is no reason for her to have a photo of her mother in her house, her mother- whose father (Robin's beloved grandfather) was also a predator- allowed Robin to be in truly heinous positions as a child.

by Anonymousreply 56May 11, 2013 12:32 PM

family member, r56?

by Anonymousreply 57May 11, 2013 1:11 PM

Thanks R56. Agreed that she's in the worst profession in the worst industry to help her -- acting enables her disabilities and unhealthy behavior to a grotesque extreme.

That said, she's got a long, long time therapist who is either grossly ineffectual, or just as likely, to whom she presents her best masks. If the only info the shrink gets is through Robin's completely upside-down perspective, what else does she have to work with? And Robin does not think she's sick, know she's sick, or go for help. The people around her can only do so much-- co-workers, friends and lovers can only safely tolerate extreme emotional chaos for so long before they must protect themselves (and often fight hard to recover) by keeping well enough away, either because they've had to cut their losses and leave, or, in the case of lovers, because Robin has suddenly thrown them out when they can't fill her un-fillable needs, and she's already got her eye on the next one (whom she will again demonize for falling short).

I could see an intervention being possible for a drug or alcohol addict, but for mental illness like this, it's impossible if you can't show a real physical danger to themselves or others. Like anything else, you cannot help those who don't think they have a problem.

I doubt she'll ever see this conversation, but if she did, she'd just think those posting are the ones with the illnesses. She sees everyone around herself at fault, never truly capable of understanding how her actions hurt others (and hurts herself).

by Anonymousreply 58May 12, 2013 4:23 AM

Wait-- the beloved grandfather was a predator, too? Seriously? I just heard the mother wasn't any good at mothering and the psychologist father was brain damaged and not all there himself mentally.

But the grandfather?

Of course, it's really hard to know what stories are true IF they originated from Robin herself, because she really does rewrite history and see demons where there are none-- especially in people she envies, or who love her. The paranoia and the blaming and the projection are rife with her, and it's hard to tell if any of it is conscious or if the illness runs so deep she doesn't know she's lying.

by Anonymousreply 59May 12, 2013 4:41 AM

The father was profoundly mentally ill. It would be good for Robin to see this thread.

by Anonymousreply 60May 12, 2013 4:49 AM

Plenty of good people, scores of good women, have tried to offer Robin support and/or help. I agree with the other poster who says she'd have to want to change-- but she doesn't. She doesn't want to do the work, and she's hugely biased against meds, and against mental illness in general (probably because of her father; fear of his illness being somehow genetic). The fact is, she does not care whom she hurts. She has no concept of other people's pain, not in a genuinely empathic way-- so much of her interactions are a sort of play acting (and often not very good). She does not get "consequences". I feel for her, for her pain and her being emotionally crippled by her disease/disorders, but I've seen her bald-faced lies and arrogance and dumping and self-righteous condemnation do severe damage to kind people who care enough to get close to Robin. It's not worth it-- SHE'S not worth it. Can't blame people in the biz for not fighting like hell to save the crazy bitch busy throwing the nice people out of the lifeboat when the ship is sinking. If that makes any sense...

Forgot about the NYTW stage manager.

And at least one hookup on that stinker of a horror movie she did, while she was still with Liz. Her gyno must be making boatloads of dough.

Felt bad for her and the horror flick (professionally)-- she can be a decent supporting/character actor, but not a lead. Her agent should've protected her, kept her from doing that. Oy.

she ONLY got on SOA because one of the senior producers/writers is a friend she managed to not screw over, & robin needed a handout.

It's not just a bunch of ugly crew dykes who sleep with Robin to show her off-- in fact, she goes after women who make HER feel good about herself either because she wants to BE them, or to have what they have (money, power, hot careers, respect). They're usually a means to an end. And the end usually includes demeaning them to feel better about herself.

You're assuming it hasn't hurt her career, but it has. A lot of work comes via her few friends and casting people she still strings along.

those robin manages to keep around her must invest in her con, or face that they, too, have been conned. she's very convincing, & plays a great victim-- the best of her acting skills. sadly, robin would never appreciate your efforts to help her. she might be beyond help, even w/medication + residency treatment program & regular appts w/shrink with NPD/s-path specialty.

be good to yourself, and keep safely away from her

Yeah I was in a few spin classes with her in WeHo and discovered Robin is inconsiderate of others, snobby, and (sorry to the ones who thought she was hot, but) really really unattractive. Grossed me out. That she's a sicko too isn't very surprising. She always expected special treatment somehow -- the rules that apply to all of us just don't apply to her.

Name of that lesbian movie asked about before is Concussion. --Which maybe she has. Or could really use.

I have always respected Robin Weigert as an actress, but I have to agree with most of the comments posted here. She is thoroughly masochistic and cares little for others. I have heard a lot of different nightmare relationship stories about her. I had heard that when Robin was in her late thirties or something she dated a girl in her early twenties and subsequently really hurt this girl emotionally. I have no idea if it's true of false, I hoped someone on here could tell me.

by Anonymousreply 90May 22, 2013 6:05 PM

Don't have an answer for you, but emotional damage can happen at any age. Someone in their early 20's has fewer tools to deal with it, but even a woman in her 50's can be at risk when encountering a RW type. Anybody can get sucked in-- not just dumb chumps. And the more personal stuff you share with a RW, the "closer" and more "connected" you seem to get, the more danger you put yourself in, because they will not for a minute hesitate to use it against you-- in fact, it's guaranteed that they will; it's part of their psychopathy.

I don't think you realize how many actresses and actors have had sex with casting directors. Certainly in the lesbian scene at least three of the most successful had lovers who were casting directors.

by Anonymousreply 94May 26, 2013 1:11 PM

She gets offers for roles legitimately- not only from women who she's fucked (Lost, Deadwood) or who want to fuck her (Concussion). But she wasn't fucking anyone on that series Life and her role got written off the show (cut down to a smaller part which, in Hollywood terms, means fired). Robin isn't the first and won't be the last to work in Hollywood that way.

I learned of the existence of this thread on the "How has Datalounge made an impact on your life?" thread. I'd noticed the name before and just skipped over it before. Having read all of this, just wow. She's clearly someone who won't respond to treatment. Her view of reality is so skewed that she would never believe herself to need treatment and she's incapable of being honest, so even daily therapy sessions would be for naught.

by Anonymousreply 100May 26, 2013 9:34 PM

There are many talented people. Most of them never get a chance. It's up to the casting director to decide who gets brought in - who gets the opportunity to audition. Maybe 1% of actors who would like to audition, get asked in. If the actor is the lover or crush or flirt or the lover of a friend of a casting director, they have incredible professional advantages.

by Anonymousreply 101May 26, 2013 11:56 PM

Robin is legitimately talented when well directed, but she also very deliberately goes after women she sees as powerful and who are able to serve her career directly, or provides what she sees as her higher status (trying to surround herself by those she sees as rich or powerful or connected). Then she maintains those relationships (if she can manage not to destroy them) for future work. Tons of people who worked with her won't do so again. Or have no contact with her after the project. And she pretty much always shits where she eats, sleeping with women on all projects that are more than one-time guest star roles-- (usually cheating on someone at home when doing it-- like it's Vegas rules on set). I don't think it's just because she loses touch with reality (a serious possibility); they seems highly calculated to serve her professional goals, even if the game she talks all love and flowers.

by Anonymousreply 102May 27, 2013 3:49 AM

Interesting. Why does she destroy those relationships she deliberately made for professional reasons? Is her cheating and willingness to sleep anyone on set the problem? What kind of sick and twisted things did she do to so many of her exs, colleauges?

I read in a previous post that she's into weird sex stuff. Not to sound pervy, but would anyone care to elaborate?

by Anonymousreply 104May 27, 2013 7:29 AM

I think the "why" is that Robin is borderline. She suffered quite a bit of trauma and she lives in a very unstable emotional state. She can tolerate relationships where there is no deep caring, but if she really loves, she can't tolerate it. She alternates between profound depression and manic states- she refuses to medicate on the ground that she believes it would hurt her acting. But I think the main reason she continues untreated is because she has always been surrounded by a cohort of false friends who bully anyone who tells the truth, and close ranks in a way that keep her sick. This kind of pain is very self-involving. She simply can't see other people as real. If ever someone needed an intervention, it is Robin Weigert. If anyone out there really cares about her, get on it right now. This is only going to get worse. Manic Depression is the most gene linked of all psychiatric illnesses.

There are at least three people here who have been personally devastated in a way that only a very ruthless, disturbed person can hurt. And there are some others who have witnessed friends be hurt, or have seen her act out in some way. The range of information and the specificity of knowledge show this. But what is more important is that the naysayers replicate the kind of obstacles these posters have faced in the past : irrefutable evidence that something is very very wrong - met with insults, put-downs and dismissal. This cycle is exactly why Robin is still untreated today.

by Anonymousreply 117June 1, 2013 9:58 AM

[quote] Creepy casting, creepy autobiographical fantasy pic. The lesbian director (Passon) blames her own wife for sexual abandonment (not movie wife, her actual wife), resents her kids, and then turns it into a big movie, where she casts a lesbian she has the hots for (crazy Robin Weigert) to play her alter ego, and then films Robin acting out Passon's personal fantasies of being a hooker for women, doing sex scenes with a bunch of other actresses she (Passon) finds hot... all right under her (Passon's) wife's nose with her wife's emotional and financial support! Why couldn't she just get a divorce and not make this a spectator sport? It's gross. --Not to mention the bad light this film puts gay marriage in. On top of that (pun intended), Weigert is notorious for sleeping with whoever she thinks has the power to cast her in roles (essentially prostituting herself, so not much of a stretch there) and then cheats on her gfs when she's used them up. Or stalks them if they leave her. Rumor has it she really committed to this part by sleeping her way through this project, too. Gooooo, Method acting! Saw it at Sundance, and agree with the reviewer in Berlin, saying that's it's an emotionally numb, ultimately shallow film. Which makes sense, seeing as it's a collaboration between two pretty cold, destructively crazy, ridiculously arrogant dykes. I'd add that it's overly self-important and completely bereft of genuine personal morality, which makes it hard to care. And that was before I found out about Passon and Weigert and their less than stellar representation of our tribe. Don't pay money to see this thing please.

But my god, when she turned on the charisma, it was like no kind else existed. Her intensity, brilliance & creativity sucked me in at first, & her vulnerability made me want to rescue her. She seriously fucked with my mind. It's been years but I'm cringing as I read the above posts because she put me through very similar things. Luckily, I was able to see the patterns in her behaviour & got out before I fell apart completely.

I’ve met her several times, as my aunt is close friends with her mother in Robin’s hometown of Silver Spring, MD. As her mother is now single she always attends our family’s Thanksgiving/holiday gatherings, and brings Robin with her whenever she’s in town. Robin is intelligent and articulate but had a very difficult upbringing with an extremely abusive father. Abusive to her mom and to Robin herself - ironic considering he was a revered psychiatrist. I’ve found most of Robin’s girlfriends to be crazy, almost like Robin has a thing for girls who are borderline/manic/alcoholic, etc. Nonetheless I like her and am always glad to see her.

They manage to always play the victim. Blame others. They have an inability to maintain long term relationships, and they are often fraught with drama. As a clinical psychiatrist, I can tell you emphatically that they are unable to be treated effectively as the problem is never with them - it’s the rest of the world.

Accurate on all counts. I remember at the time thinking she must be diddling Paula Vogel AND whomever else because that behaviour.. would warrant a dismissal without powerful allies on the production and creative end. Robin is very manipulative.

[quote] Poor Cherry Jones seems to attract a lot of these fame-hungry women [quote]

Worth noting that Sarah Paulson (an actual Cherry Jones conquest) gave one of her best performances to date on Deadwood as a seemingly innocent but steel spined calculating, manipulative minx. Make of that what you will.

[quote] She's not really that talented. She was good in Lost but she's no Glenn Close/Meryl Streep/Jessica Lange. [quote]

Robin is a genuinely talented character actresss. Lost was shit. Sorry Liz.

[quote] At least she didn't go the Sarah Paulson route and screw anything that can get her a job! [quote]

Oh my sides. OH MY SIDES

[quote] . Go figure it's not like she got her roles on sheer talent alone either.[quote]

Stop your killing me. Although I guess the other than sheer talent alone skill could be considered a form of talent

[quote] Robin also has a complex about being better than other actors [quote]

Robin and I saw an Off-Broadway play (years ago) We didn't go together. She charges up to me in the lobby at intermission and without preamble blurts out "The actor playing the lead is the MALE ME , he's fantastic.. I swear he's the male ME" She then she spotted Cynthia Nixon (also in the lobby) and without saying a word, made a mad dash for her. So yeah.

[quote] I have a question about Maggie Siff

not gay. not crazy.

[quote] I was under the impression she was still dating Elizabeth Sarnoff. [quote]

So was Liz Sarnoff.

[quote] Whoever has the crush on RW-- RUN the other way

agreed/ run away from RW and run to therapy.

[quote] I know a guy who is friends with Robin. Great guy but he really seems to like her, gay male so of course the dynamic is different, they went to NYU Grad together.[quote]

I think I know who you mean. He became a director (did a beautiful job on a difficult Brian Friel play a few years back Off-Broadway) Robin has a few relationships like this. People who are on to her but because they are gay or whatever can't be manipulated by her. These VERY few people are her saving grace. [quote]

[quote] Cindy Tolan? really?? I had never heard that one.

Really? Even my dog walker knew that one.

[quote] she seems off.[quote]

Yes.

[quote] Robin is undeniably talented but how does she get along with other actors?[quote]

Yes undeniably talented. She gets along with other actors to the extent she has calculated their worth to her agenda [quote]

[quote] People in the business have been complicit in keeping Robin sick. [quote]

Yes and no. Robin is sick but she isn't insane. She knows what she is and what she is doing. Hiring an actor doesn't make you complicit in their psyche.

Women have been screwing men for their own advancement since time immemorial. So when I read about a lesbian doing the same with other women in power, I just shrug and think "Good for her!" Using the tools of the patriarchy like a boss. Besides, it's the arts; no one gives a shit how the sausage is made. Apart from DL, that is.

I just wish she were more open about her sexuality in the press. She could be the greatest lesbian actress, perhaps of all time.
