Robby Benson: From 70s Heartthrob to Resilient Icon
Robby Benson won hearts in the 70s with Ice Castles and One on One. At 20, a congenital heart defect led to multiple surgeries and a new focus on health and self-growth.
Later, he voiced Disney’s Beast, taught film, and built a quiet family life with Karla DeVito on a North Carolina farm. Returning recently in Severance, Benson’s story is one of resilience, love, and reinvention—proof that true charm only grows with time.
