What Happened? Celebrities Who Should Have Had Bigger Careers
Robin Givens
She first came to prominence as Darlene Merriman on NBC’s Head of the Class, but it would be her tumultuous relationship with boxer Mike Tyson that would largely define her celebrity. We were really rooting for Robin Givens, too. The New York-born actress didn’t rely on just good looks to get her by. In addition to attending college at Sarah Lawrence, she also left Harvard Medical School to pursue a career in acting. Brains, beauty and talent. Yeah, there’s no doubt that it’s a real shame she never had her big breakthrough.
