Robin Williams

Geboren 21 juli 1951 · Chicago, Illinois, USA · Overleden 11 augustus 2014

Robin McLaurin Williams (21 juli 1951 – 11 augustus 2014) was een Amerikaanse acteur en komiek. Bekend om zijn improvisatievaardigheden en de grote verscheidenheid aan personages die hij op het moment creëerde en in film, zowel in drama's als komedies, vertolkte, wordt hij beschouwd als een van de grootste komieken aller tijden. Hij ontving talrijke onderscheidingen, waaronder een Academy Award, twee Primetime Emmy Awards, zes Golden Globe Awards, twee Screen Actors Guild Awards en vijf Grammy Awards. Williams begon halverwege de jaren zeventig met stand-upcomedy in San Francisco en Los Angeles, en bracht verschillende comedyalbums uit, waaronder Reality ... Wat een concept in 1980. Hij werd beroemd door de alien Mork te spelen in de ABC-sitcom Mork & Mindy (1978–1982). Hij kreeg zijn eerste hoofdrolspeelster in Popeye (1980). Williams won vervolgens de Academy Award voor Beste Mannelijke Bijrol voor Good Will Hunting (1997). Zijn andere Oscar-genomineerde rollen waren voor Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Dead Poets Society (1989) en The Fisher King (1991). Williams speelde in de kritisch bejubelde drama's The World According to Garp (1982), Moscow on the Hudson (1984), Dead Poets Society (1989), Awakenings (1990), Patch Adams (1998), Insomnia (2002), One Hour Photo (2002) en World's Greatest Dad (2009). Hij speelde ook in familiefilms zoals Hook (1991), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), Jack (1996), Flubber (1997), RV (2006) en de Night at the Museum-trilogie (2006–2014). Hij leende zijn stem aan de animatiefilms Aladdin (1992), Robots (2005), Happy Feet (2006) en het vervolg uit 2011. Williams werd in augustus 2014 dood aangetroffen in zijn huis in Paradise Cay, Californië, op 63-jarige leeftijd. Ten tijde van zijn zelfmoord was bij hem de ziekte van Parkinson vastgesteld. Volgens zijn weduwe had Williams te maken gehad met depressie, angst en toenemende paranoia. Zijn autopsie vond "diffuse Lewy body ziekte" en professionals op het gebied van Lewy body dementie zeiden dat zijn symptomen overeenkwamen met dementie bij Lewy-lichamen.
