From All Movie Guide: African American model/actress Robin Givens first gained national prominence as a regular on the TV series Head of the Class. From 1986 through 1991, Robin played Darlene Merriman, a prep-school type attending a high school honors program. Though she was but one of an ensemble, Givens's participation in the series was hyped by the network on the occasion of her marriage to boxing champ Mike Tyson. The marriage ended in divorce, after only a few years, amidst accusations of brutality and infidelity. Givens has proven she is not merely an adjunct to Mike Tyson's fame with excellent performances in such TV and movie projects as The Women of Brewster Place (1989) and A Rage in Harlem (1991), and the TV series Courthouse. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Actress Robin Givens has played a wide range of characters throughout her career. A similar diversity marked the roles she played during the months of intense publicity surrounding her marriage to heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. When their relationship began, Givens was frequently portrayed either as the cultured beauty in love with the street-hardened beast, or the ambitious starlet eager to ride his coattails to fame. When Givens sought divorce, alleging that Tyson had physically abused her, she was reviled in many media reports as a liar and a gold digger. In the aftermath of their marriage and Tyson's later conviction for rape, Givens has emerged as a courageous survivor. In her own eyes, the actress told an Ebony correspondent, she is simply a hard-working actress, "a good human being and incredibly sensitive and vulnerable."
