Robin had cast her in an episode of Fantasy Island (1977), but Cybill was very "underwhelmed", since she wasn't even the lead guest-star, but Robin told her that she would set up meetings for her with top independent agents who would turn her career around. Cybill was grateful to her, since it was "a great piece of advice," as she was able to get an agent who soon made her a TV star.
- She cast Mae Whitman and Alia Shawcat in the series, State Of Grace. They were both 12 and it was Alia's first job. The show went on to get rave reviews but the series was short lived once Fox Family was sold.
