Robin Christensen-Roussimoff is the daughter of an international wrestling icon and follows in his footsteps by managing his image rights and working promotions for him.
She attempted a career in professional wrestling but found little success there. Later she turned to film acting, still actively representing and promoting his image today.
Her father Andre the Giant
Andre the Giant was an international star and died at age 46 from a heart attack, yet Robin Christensen-Roussimoff is doing everything she can to carry his legacy forward. She is the sole heir of his estate and fortune worth millions, she can make decisions regarding whenever his likeness is used and receives royalties when that occurs.
Andre the Giant was not close with either parent and had limited contact with his daughter due to his busy travel schedule and competing in wrestling matches; his relationship with his mother deteriorated quickly as a result of this separation.
Even though she and her father do not share a close bond, she still deeply values him and respects his accomplishments. She has made public appearances to honor his legacy and works on charitable efforts to raise awareness of acromegaly; additionally she was featured as the subject of a documentary film that chronicled his life.
Her mother Jean Christensen
Robin Christensen-Roussimoff was a model and PR representative in wrestling when she met Andre the Giant during the 1970s. Though they never officially tied the knot, Robin never saw much of her father due to his traveling commitments as a wrestler.
Robin still mourns the death of her mother in 2008 and acts as an ambassador for the Andre the Giant Memorial Foundation, raising money and awareness of acromegaly (a rare disease her father suffered from).
Robin had a difficult relationship with her father, yet has achieved much in life on her own. She bears striking resemblance to him and serves as an inspiring figure for female wrestlers. Additionally, Robin is dedicated to raising funds for children’s causes as well as fighting domestic violence – leaving a bright future ahead of her and determined to build a better world for herself and others alike.
