I miss Robin Williams RIP

Robin William acted so nicely with tremendous voices!

I was in the 8th grade at the time of Mrs. Doubtfire’s theatrical run. I watched it in theaters first, then on VHS, and 20 years later on Blu-Ray. The video game Mega Man X was released in Japan during the film’s theatrical run.

Lisa Jakub’s role as Lydia Hillard came at the cost of her school attendance, resulting in expulsion. Robin Williams wrote a letter (dated July 1, 1993) pleading for her school’s principal to reconsider but to no avail. Ironically the letter is hung in the principal’s office as memorabilia.

This became my comfort movie when my parents decided on a separation (it still hurts to say divorce 😢). Robin Williams was a treasure, he will forever be missed. 🥺🙏
