Career
In connection with her role in Times Square, Robin Johnson signed an exclusive three-year contract with the Robert Stigwood Organization, with the understanding that RSO would develop film and music projects for her. RSO intended to market Johnson as "the female John Travolta," and her contract legally barred her from accepting offers or auditions from rival companies. Johnson therefore turned down calls from agents, producers and casting directors, but the projects that RSO promised her never came to fruition. Johnson took a job as a bank teller whilst waiting for her RSO contract to expire, and by the time it did, there were no offers for work. Johnson did some minor film and TV roles, but by the late 1980s, she gave up on acting and got a job as a traffic reporter on KFWB-AM a Los Angeles radio station.{{Cite web|url=https://jerrysaravia.blogspot.com/2013/06/interview-with-robin-johnson-born-that.html|title=Interview with Robin Johnson}} Robin Johnson contributed to the audio commentary with director Alan Moyle, which features on the 2000 DVD release of Times Square.{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54781110|title=Times Square 2000 DVD release|oclc=54781110 }}
