Robyn Hilton, born Robyn J. Molyneux on July 13, 1944, in Twin Falls, Idaho, is an American actress and model who gained fame in the 1970s for her comedic roles and striking appearance. Known for her iconic role in Blazing Saddles and her brief but memorable Hollywood career, Hilton became a cult figure in film and television, leaving a lasting impression on audiences despite her relatively limited time in the industry.
Hilton grew up on a farm in a small town in Idaho, where she developed a sense of discipline and hard work. She attended Jerome High School and later Boise Junior College before transferring to Utah State University. After completing her education, Hilton initially pursued a career in modeling. Her statuesque figure, blonde hair, and magnetic screen presence made her stand out, and she quickly caught the attention of Hollywood. The late 1960s and early 1970s were a transitional time for the entertainment industry, with more demand for actors who could bring both glamour and humor to the screen. Hilton fits that mold perfectly.
Hilton’s big break came in 1974 when she landed the role of Miss Stein, Governor William J. Le Petomane’s seductive and ditzy secretary, in Mel Brooks’ satirical Western comedy Blazing Saddles. Her performance, though brief, was unforgettable, as she played opposite comedic legends like Brooks and Gene Wilder. The film was a massive success and remains a beloved classic. Hilton’s comedic timing and on-screen charm contributed to the movie’s humor, helping to establish her as a notable personality in Hollywood.
