Robby the Robot,
star of the science-fiction epic Forbidden Planet, turns
50 this year! For the last half century Robby has remained the most
famous, and adored movie robot of all time. Robby was built in
1955 and made his film debut in 1956 in Forbidden Planet,
Hollywood's first multi-million dollar
science-fiction epic.
In
Forbidden Planet, Robby starred alongside Leslie Nielson,
Walter Pigeon and Anne Francis and cost the MGM prop-shop over
$125,000 to construct. In 1957 Robby appeared in his second
motion picture, "The Invisible Boy", starring Philip
Abbott and Richard Eyer.
