Robin Victory in Europe Strasser (born May 7, 1945) is an American actress. Her middle name comes from V-E Day, which was proclaimed the day she was born. Raised in the New York City borough of Brooklyn by Martin and Anne Strasser, Strasser graduated from the High School of Performing Arts. After high school, on full scholarship, she attended the Yale University School of Drama. She began acting in the early 1960s. Strasser sharpened her acting abilities in theatre, acting on Broadway, where she appeared in Chapter Two and The Shadow Box. She met Laurence Luckinbill while appearing in Chapter Two; they were married from 1965 until their divorce in 1976. They had two sons., Nicholas (b. 1971) and Ben (b. 1975). Strasser has acted on several daytime dramas, including originating the role of Rachel Davis Matthews on Another World (1967-1972) and playing Dr. Christina Karras Martin on All My Children, (1976-1979).
