Despite his difficulties, he had an incredible ability to make people laugh. It would be an understatement to say that Williams’ life was extraordinary.
On August 11, 2014, the news of beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams’ suicide shocked and upset people all over the world.
Williams, like many others, struggled with drug addiction and personal demons.
The sadness of a clown is an old irony of show business – “The Guardian” wrote yesterday. The death of the clown is even sadder. But Robin Williams was no ordinary entertainer, he was a clown, a master of mimicry, disguise, laughter, and making you cry.
He made others laugh, and made others cry – was one of the most used quotes yesterday. The American comedian was found dead at home yesterday. At the age of 63, he died by suicide, after a long depression and a heavy life of drug and alcohol addiction.
While the news of the death of the actor Robin Williams has shocked Hollywood, admirers of his work as well as the picturesque community in the Bay of San Francisco where he lived. Analyzes show that he may have died of asphyxiation, in an act of suicide.
The actor has long suffered from clinical depression. Last month, he announced that he would resume curative therapy after 18 months of intensive work. His representatives say that during these times he had no problems with drugs or alcohol, but during his life, he went through dark periods when he abused drinks or narcotics.
But today he is remembered for the comic moments, laughs, and unforgettable characters he brought to the American people. He rose to fame with his first role in the television comedy series Mork and Mindy, where he played an alien living among humans. President Obama remembered this character, in a press release in memory of the actor. “He entered our lives as an extraterrestrial, but he managed to touch every fiber of the human soul,” said Mr. Obama.
His talent helped him transition into the world of film, where he created memorable characters through physical comedy, impersonation, and originality in performance. Among his most popular roles is the irritating, offensive, and unpredictable host of a radio show in the film “Good Morning Vietnam”; a father hurt by the separation from his children when he divorces his wife, who tries in every way to be by their side in the movie “Mrs. Doubtfire”. A doctor who, in addition to his professional talent, also brings the human spirit to his patients in the movie “Patch Williams”. And the psychoanalyst manages to show the way to salvation to a young man in the film “Good Will Hunting”, for which he also won the “Oscar”.
“Today, it seems to me that for the first time, I will be speechless. Thank you so much for this incredible honor. Thank you for including me in a category with these four wonderful actors”, said the actor when he received the award.
His talent has been described as electrifying and contagious. His colleagues refused to appear on the stages of comedy clubs after his performance. “Performing after Robin Williams is like trying to create hilarity after the end of the Civil War”, comedian Billy Crystal once said.
But he was above all a simple man, who did not allow fame to change him. To colleagues and people who knew him closely, he was a man with a broad and warm spirit. He is survived by his wife as well as two sons and a daughter from a previous marriage. In a recent tweet on July 31, Williams wished her daughter a happy 25th birthday.
Billy Crystal, a close friend, and actor noticed the drastic change in Williams’ appearance. “I can no longer be funny,” Robin confided to Crystal one day, as Crystal revealed. At work, he had a panic attack and thought he’d never be able to make people laugh again.
His admirers have the opportunity to see the actor in his last role in the movie “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” in the role of President Teddy Roosevelt.
