Robin Williams trying different voices for "Mrs. Doubtfire" during a screen test

wanna hear me moan?

Robin Williams discusses the creation of Mrs Doubtfire's voice with Des O'Connor

Robin Williams - In every movie he filmed he asked the production company to hire at least 10 homeless people. During his entire career, he helped approximately 1520 homeless. What an absolute legend! ❤️

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.” — Robin Williams

In 1979, Robin Williams was an unknown 28-year-old comedian performing on the streets of New York. Despite his relative obscurity at the time, he had a huge crowd gathered around him as he performed with his trademark energy and intelligence. His comedic genius captivated audiences, providing them with a glimpse into what would soon become one of the most iconic comedians in history. Little did they know that this young street artist would star in some of the best films and television shows of all time, winning five Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, two Emmy Awards and two Oscars. Even today, more than 40 years later, Robin Williams' legacy lives on through his timeless comedy.

‘’Years ago I learned a very cool thing about Robin Williams, and I couldn't watch a movie of his afterward without thinking of it. I never actually booked Robin Williams for an event, but I came close enough that his office sent over his rider. For those outside of the entertainment industry, a rider lists out an artist's specific personal and technical needs for hosting them for an event- anything from bottled water and their green room to sound and lighting requirements. You can learn a lot about a person from their rider. This is where rocks bands list their requirement for green M&Ms (which is actually a surprisingly smart thing to do). This is also where a famous environmentalist requires a large gas-guzzling private jet to fly to the event city, but then requires an electric or hybrid car to take said environmentalist to the event venue when in view of the public. When I got Robin Williams' rider, I was very surprised by what I found. He actually had a requirement that for every single event or film he did, the company hiring him also had to hire a certain number of homeless people and put them to work. I never watched a Robin Williams movie the same way after that. I'm sure that on his own time and with his own money, he was working with these people in need, but he'd also decided to use his clout as an entertainer to make sure that production companies and event planners also learned the value of giving people a chance to work their way back. I wonder how many production companies continued the practice into their next non-Robin Williams project, as well as how many people got a chance at a job and the pride of earning an income, even temporarily, from his actions. He was a great multiplier of his impact. Let's hope that impact lives on without him. Thanks, Robin Williams -- not just for laughs, but also for a good example

He was absolutely the most talented and cherished actor in my times. I miss the times when incredible actors made feel good movies like his. RIP

This following quote has to be my favorite from Robin Williams. I think of this one often. I sure do miss him being around "I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy. Because they know what it feels like to feel absolutely worthless and they don't want anybody else to feel like that." - Robin Williams

The number ONE for ever and ever!
