It’s been six years since the renowned actor, who drew thousands of smiles, Robin Williams, committed suicide in August 2014 due to depression and addiction issues. During his career, he won an Oscar, five Golden Globes, a Screen Actors Guild Award, two Emmy Awards and three Grammy Awards.Despite his great success as an actor, Robin suffered from depression. A divorce, lack of prominent hollywood jobs and his health problems did not help her improve her mood and she decided to take her own life at her California home. Later, it was known that he also suffered from Parkinson’s disease even though he was at an early stage.
After his death, his widow Susan Schneider issued a statement to tell how his last weeks were: “He spent much of his life helping others. Whether it’s entertaining them on stage, in the movies, in television or with the troops on the front line. If necessary, helping to forget the pain to sick children. Robin just wanted to make us laugh, let him lose his fear.” Today, however, the footprints he left in various iconic films for the world of cinema and the thousands of smiles he brought to people with his work prevail. Films such as Patch Adams, Dead Poets Society, Jumanji, Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs. Doubtfire brought him international fame. Last Tuesday, July 21, actor Robin Williams would have celebrated his 69th birthday. On that date, many admirers remembered him through social media with much love and admiration. Although the prestigious comedian left us early he will always be remembered for his impeccable work and his solidarity with the rest of the people. Robin Williams will live among us, coming back every time, when we appreciate one of his films.
