Abans de treballar per a la televisió, va ser editora de la revista Vogue. Fins al 1971 va treballar com a editora sènior de la revista Look i ha estat escriptora col·laboradora de diverses publicacions, entre les quals The New York Times. Els informes i articles publicats per Rollin han guanyat el Premi Alfred I. duPont, que atorga la Universitat de Colúmbia a l'excel·lència en periodisme de servei públic i és considerat un dels premis més prestigiosos del periodisme, i el Premi Emmy. Des de 1997, Rollin ha estat corresponsal col·laboradora de Religion & Ethics Newsweekly, un programa setmanal de la PBS, i del setmanari Ethics News Weekly. Rollin és llicenciada a l'Escola de Cultura Ètica Fieldston, de la Universitat Sarah Lawrence on va coincidir amb Yoko Ono com a estudiant, tal com Yoko Ono va esmentar públicament en l'espectacle Dick Cavett. A Rollin se li va diagnosticar càncer de mama l'any 1975, i un altre cop l'any 1984, cada cop perdent un pit a cada mastectomia. Rollin va fer públic el seu càncer i va escriure sobre aquesta malaltia que ella patí, al llibre First, You Cry (Primer, plora), amb l'objectiu de fer créixer la conscienciació pública i per donar encoratjament a altres enfrontant-se a aquesta malaltia. De First, You Cry se'n va fer una pel·lícula a la televisió dels EUA. Ida, la mare de Rollin, va ser diagnosticada amb càncer ovàric terminal l'any 1981 i Rollin va ajudar la seva mare a acabar la seva vida l'any 1983. En el seu llibre Last Wish (Darrer desig), va exposar aquesta malaltia i la seva ajuda l'any 1985 i l'any 1998. Un crític el va qualificar com "un document de compassió personal i d'importància pública." El llibre ha estat publicat a 19 països i se'n va fer una pel·lícula de televisió l'any 1992. Des de la publicació del llibre, Rollin ha mostrat activitat en el moviment Death with Dignity (Mort amb dignitat). Ella viu a Manhattan, EUA, juntament amb el seu marit, el matemàtic Harold Edwards. No tenen descendència. (ca)
