  • Robin Williams: A Lifetime Spent Making Us Laugh and Cry

    “For those who grew up in the 80s and 90s, there’s a really special bond, born out of that inherent admiration only a child can show towards an actor, which creates a lifelong warmth towards somebody, as their very presence takes you back to a more simple, blissful time.

    A clause in Robin Williams’ will is preventing Disney from creating another instalment in the Aladdin series. The clause forbids fresh exploitation of his name, taped performances, and voice recordings for twenty five years; and apparently there is such a wealth of unused comic material which the beloved comedian recorded for Aladdin, that a new movie could be made out of, were it not for this stipulation.

    The instant before my fingers touch the keys, I pause. I’m suddenly overcome by a sharp melancholy, as memories of Robin Williams flash through my head: a smile that could melt a glacier; a voice that was always a comfort to me through my life. A few seconds tick by, and the intensity passes. I begin to type. I intend to keep this short.
