Cynthia Chenault was born January 5, 1937, in Hammond, Louisiana to Louis Robinaux.

She had one child, actress Kimberly Beck,[5] born in Glendale, California, in January 1956.

Cynthia, then still known as Cindy Robbins, married New Jersey singer-songwriter Tommy Leonetti on November 27, 1965, in Beverly Hills, California.[6] The two of them, plus her young daughter, moved to Sydney, Australia, and lived there for the remainder of the 1960s and for most of the 1970s before returning to America in the late 70's. Her husband Tommy died in 1979. She then married writer Robert Parks Chenault in 1983, and began around that time using her married name for her writing credits, rather than her screen name.
