From Zendaya to Brigitte Bardot: Hollywood’s Golden Girls Who Have Forever Stolen Our Hearts
Robby Benson – Beauty and the Beast
The American actor Robby Benson has experienced a bit of everything life in show business offers. He rose to stardom in the ’70s, working as a teen idol on sports flicks such as “Ice Castles” and “One on One.” As he grew older, he leaned more into voice-acting work. He landed the best-known role of his career in the ’90s, starring as ‘Beast’ in the critically-acclaimed Walt Disney classic “Beauty and the Beast.”
Benson has since portrayed ‘Beast’ in many sequels and spin-offs and started a new career working as a TV director. He’s directed episodes of several hit TV shows, including “Friends.”
