A popular child actor, she starred alongside Amy Madigan, Richard Thomas and Scott Bakula on In the Name of the People, and received this critical acclaim from The Hollywood Reporter: "...a fine little actress named Robin Anne Phipps, as the killer's 13-year-old daughter, Lisa ... And, Phipps, as Lisa, just rips your heart in two with some very convincing body-racked sobs. She's so good it makes us forget briefly that real life is rarely this flawlessly poignant." In addition, Phipps received a writing award from the Queen of England, and another from Canadian Living Magazine in which she was published nationally. She carved out a nice niche as a child actress, however, in REX, she truly reached adulthood.
