Primrose on June 16, 1965. He grew up in Garden City, Long Island,
along with older sisters, Tracey and Tricia. Robert began his career in
sound on the soap opera,
The Edge of Night (1956),

another soap opera,

continued to work on numerous projects over the years, many of which
have been canceled, but none due to poor sound quality of the
production. After two seasons on

operator, Robert returned to daytime television as a boom
operator/mixer for the long-running soap opera,
Guiding Light (1952).

intimate ceremony on the beach in St. Thomas, USVI. Robert is now in
his eighth season with
Saturday Night Live (1975)
and is associated with EUE Screen Gems Studios in New York, N.Y.
