Did You Know?

Before scoring a part on the Australian soap opera “Neighbours,” the role in which she first gained prominence, Robbie worked as a “sandwich artist” at a Subway restaurant in Melbourne; months after quitting the restaurant job, she filmed a commercial for Subway.
Although Robbie was a fan of ice hockey from an early age, the balmy climate of her Australian hometown restricted her to playing only field hockey until she moved to the United States, where she joined an amateur ice hockey team.
