Robin Williams' View Of The World Was Full Of Wonder: Fond Memories
One year has passed since the death of dear Robin Williams. A number of memories of the beloved actor are flooding the media.
Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played his daughter in the sitcom "The Crazy Ones," posted his picture on Instagram, according to cnn.
She wrote: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better wether (sic) by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded."
"You succeeded RW," she added.
His best friend and comedian, Bobcat Goldthwait, has dedicated a new documentary to Williams, who had given him advice as well as finances for the film on another comedian. Goldthwait recalled: "Robin's view of the world was full of wonder and mine was always this dark cloud of sarcasm and cynicism, [yet] the two of us still were friends."
He continued, "The amount of love and kindness that I've been shown from everyone, from strangers and people who knew him, it kind of softened me up a little bit, and I think it was the last gift my very generous friend gave me."
"What might have been" is worth thinking of too, according to time.
One of the might-have-beens was a sequel to the 1993 sequel of "Mrs. Doubtfire", which was all about a divorced father trying to return to his children's lives by pretending to be their caretaker.
Director Chris Columbus has admitted that making a sequel was not just a thought. "No, we were involved with it because it was something Robin and I always talked about," he said.
Initially, they had thought about it in the 2000s. However, the idea did not move them so much at the time. "We said for years that we would never do it," Columbus said. "Then somebody came up with a really interesting idea, and we agreed to develop a script."
However, it has remained just a memory. "That was the last time I saw Robin, sadly, when we were talking about the sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire," he says.
And now, that sequel can never materialize without Robin. "It definitely will never happen now," Columbus said.
Chris kept mum about it. "It's so delicate," said Columbus. "I'd love to talk about it, but it's really too difficult at this point."
