Angela Robinson is an American actress and singer. She is best known for playing the role of Veronica Harrington in the Oprah Winfrey Network primetime soap opera The Haves and the Have Nots from May 2013 to July 2021.
Robinson was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida.[1] She graduated from William M. Raines High School in Jacksonville and Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida.[1] While in college, she won the crown of Miss Florida A&M University.[1] She moved to New York City in 1992 and began acting career on the stage, appearing on Broadway and Off-Broadway productions.[2][3] On Broadway, she performed in The Color Purple, and later appeared in the national touring production.[1] Robinson also performed on the national tours of Dreamgirls and The Wizard of Oz.[2] On television, she appeared in the episode "Contagious" of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2005.[2]
From May 2013 to July 2021, Robinson starred as Veronica Harrington, with albeit a high-end and classy presentation, a no-holds-barred prominent villainess on the Oprah Winfrey Network primetime soap opera, The Haves and the Have Nots. The program was produced by Tyler Perry.[4] For her performance on The Haves and the Have Nots, Robinson received a Gracie Award for "Outstanding Female Actor - One to Watch," in 2015.[5][6] For her cold, calculating rendition of Veronica Harrington, Robinson also earned the label of "Ice Queen" on OWN, the tagline for her character used in numerous OWN advertisements to fuel enthusiasm for upcoming episodes during the show's original run.[7] The label originated from the show's considerable fanbase.[8]
Personal life
In 1996, Robinson married stage actor Scott Whitehurst.[9] In June 2018, they adopted a son named Robinson Scott.[10]
