About Robin Williams
Robin Williams was one of the most loved Hollywood stars. Known for his effortless comic timing and versatility, he worked in several movies including ‘Jumanji,’ Dead Poets Society,’ ‘Mrs. Doubtfire,’ and ‘Aladdin.’ In a tragic turn of events, in 2014 he committed suicide, and later autopsy reports revealed he had an undiagnosed case of Lewy body dementia, which caused paranoia and anxiety. Though it’s been over a decade since he passed away, his memories keep him alive in the hearts of his fans.
