Due to circumstances at her birth, her mother claimed that Robin Morgan was born a year later than she actually was<ref name="s"/> (see [[#Birth and parents|birth and parents]]), and throughout her career as a child actor, she was thought to be a year younger than she actually was, both by herself and others.

Already as a toddler, her mother, Faith, and mother's sister Sally started Robin as a child model. At the age of five, believed to be four,<ref name="s"/> she got her own program, titled ''Little Robin Morgan'', on the New York radio station [[WOR (AM)|WOR]]. She was also a regular on the original network radio version of ''[[Juvenile Jury]]''. Her acting career took off when she was eight and started in the TV series ''[[Mama (American TV series)|Mama]]'', as Dagmar Hansen, the younger sister in the family depicted in the series. The show premiered on CBS in 1949, starring [[Peggy Wood]], and was a great success. Morgan played Cecchina Cabrini in ''[[Citizen Saint]]'' (1947).

During the [[Golden Age of Television]], Morgan starred in such "TV spectaculars" as ''Kiss and Tell'' and ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'', and guest starred on such live dramas as ''[[Omnibus (UK TV series)|Omnibus]]'', ''[[Suspense (American TV series)|Suspense]]'', ''[[Danger (TV series)|Danger]]'', ''[[Hallmark Hall of Fame]]'', ''[[Robert Montgomery Presents]]'', ''[[Tales of Tomorrow]]'', and ''[[Kraft Theatre]]''. She worked with directors such as [[Sidney Lumet]], [[John Frankenheimer]], [[Ralph Nelson]]; writers such as [[Paddy Chayefsky]] and [[Rod Serling]]; and performed with actors such as [[Boris Karloff]], [[Rosalind Russell]], [[Bill "Bojangles" Robinson]], and [[Cliff Robertson]].<ref name="s"/>

Having wanted to write rather than to act since she was four, Morgan fought her mother's efforts to keep her in show business,<ref name="toofar"/> and left the cast of ''Mama'' at age 14.
