A shy child, he often referred to himself as being overweight with nobody wanting to play with him.  So he started entertaining himself by talking in different voices.

 

Robin Williams briefly studied political science, before enrolling at Juilliard School to study theatre.

 

Robin Williams was performing in night clubs when he was discovered for a role in an episode of TV series Happy Days in 1974 and later for TV series Mork and Mindy in 1978. His fun and infectious comedy style as alien Mork in the TV series Mork and Mindy (1978 to 1982) made him a household name. But this was just the begining as he increased his fame with stand up comedy.

The Oscar winner was a long term sufferer of bipolar and is thought to have committed suicide in his home in California.

 

Full of life, Robin Williams brought joy to the screen with his youthful energy and humor making a lasting impression. He will be forever remembered as one of the most creative souls, that left us too soon. His legacy will go on with the outstanding contribution he has made to the screen that appeals to all ages, listed below.
