Robin Weigert was born on July 7, 1969, in Washington, D.C. She is the daughter of Dionne Laufman and Wolfgang Oscar Weigert, a native of Berlin. Of Jewish heritage, Weigert completed her undergraduate studies at Brandeis University in 1991. She later earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, graduating from the Graduate Acting Program.
Weigert began her acting career on stage in New York, where she worked extensively for a decade. She portrayed Poppy Norton-Taylor in the 2001 theater production of Noises Off. That same year, she appeared in Richard Nelson’s play Madame Melville—not "Madame Neville"—alongside Macaulay Culkin and Joely Richardson. Her performance in the play earned her nominations for both the Drama Desk Award and the Lucille Lortel Award. Also in 2001, she played Masha—not “Mansha”—in Anton Chekhov’s classic, The Seagull.
Weigert's television debut came in 1998 with a role in the TV adaptation of Twelfth Night, or What You Will. In 1999, she portrayed Whitney in the series Heart to Heart.com. She made guest appearances in acclaimed series such as Law & Order, NYPD Blue, and Without a Trace. Her consistent television work gained the attention of director Mike Nichols, who later cast her as the Mormon Mother in the Emmy Award-winning HBO miniseries Angels in America—not “Angel In America,” as misstated. She also took on smaller roles in films including The Sleepy Time Gal, the indie title What I Came For, and the romantic comedy Two Weeks Notice.
