Robin Tunney went to St. She married after her retirement and distanced herself from her Hollywood career, and for the rest of her life politely refused any requests for interviews. Robin Tunney is a South Side Chicago native. By her retirment at the age of 17 she had appeared in more than forty films, and had acted with some of the biggest stars of her era, including Clark Gable and Myrna Loy in Too Hot to Handle (1938), Bette Davis in All This and Heaven Too (1940), and Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in Babes on Broadway (1941), but she was not able to make continue her success as an actor into adulthood. In 1997, Tunney married producer Bob Gosse. After a string of box-office disappointments, her film career ended with her final performance in 1943.

Tunney also starred opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1999 action film End of Days. She continued acting but by this time was maturing, and as a teenager was less popular with audiences. She had a major breakthrough with her role as a suicidal teenager in Empire Records before receiving the leading role as a gothic witch in The Craft, alongside Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell and Rachel True. Her next major success, and the film for which she is perhaps best remembered was The Philadelphia Story (1941) in which she played the wise-cracking younger sister of Katharine Hepburn. She moved to Los Angeles, at the age of 18, where she had several recurring TV roles on Law & Order, Dream On, and Life Goes On. She was one of the all-female cast of The Women (1939), as Norma Shearer's daughter, a role that was uncharacteristically sentimental for her. Tunney studied acting at the Chicago Academy for the Performing Arts. The film was a success and over the next few years Weidler was regularly employed by the studio, usually playing precocious tom-boys.
