Robertson was born in Hamilton, Ontario. She began acting when she was 10, launching a television and film career in Canada. During this time, she attended Hillfield Strathallan College, a local private school. Her first continuing series was in the Canadian television program Maniac Mansion, from 1990-1993. She played Tina Edison, the eldest of three children and daughter to Dr. Fred Edison (Joe Flaherty). She did not debut on the big screen until her small role in the Brenton Spencer film Blown Away. She was cast as Clare Arnold in Beverly Hills, 90210, where she remained until 1997. Her ex-boyfriend, director Gregg Araki, cast her in the lead of two of his films, Nowhere (1997) and Splendor (1999).
While Robertson's film career did not immediately rocket her into stardom, she enjoyed a steady flow of roles throughout the rest of the nineties and through the millenium. She starred in the Sally Field directed project "Beautiful" in 2000 and co-starred in the teen flick "Scary Movie 2" in 2001. In 2003, Robertson starred in the independent film "XX/YY" which premiered at Sundance. Perhaps signaling a desire to take on more challenging roles, Roberston played a woman who embarks on a three-way relationship with two male college friends, only to find it haunting her ten years later.
