The Life Of Robin Williams
July 30, 2015 @ 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
Registration required; contact the organizer.The Life Of Robin Williams
Robin Williams was one of the funniest comedians of all time. His improvisational skills were almost other-worldly! Yet behind the comic persona lay a complex man
– intensely charitable and compassionate, but plagued by insecurity,battling addictions and vulnerable to depression. In this multi-media presentation, we will examine the fascinating life and sad death of Robin Williams – and watch as his amazing career took shape!
While early audiences remember him as Mork; others remember his free form, intense improvisational riffs. We will also celebrate his long, extremely accomplished and acclaimed career as a film actor.
Like Steve Martin, Robin Williams became a superb movie actor, able to take on roles in drama, comedy, animation, thrillers – and he made an indelible impression at all. He was nominated several times for Oscars, including a win as a serious psychotherapist in “Good Will Hunting.
We will look at clips from a wides sampling of his movie work including “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Aladdin,” “Awakenings,” “One Hour Photo,” “Good Morning, Vietnam,” “A Night At The Museum,” “Good Will Hunting” and many more,
