Remembering: Robin Williams

 Robin McLaurin Williams
(July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014)

I was very sad to hear about the passing of an actor who has been making me smile and laugh from a very young age.
A very talented man who had a humanitarian spirit and enough laughter to fill any room.
An underrated gem of a soul....

Some of my favourite Robin Williams films...

Jumanji

Mrs Doubtfire

Toys
Good Will Hunting
Hook
Aladdin
The Butler

President Barack Obama also issued a statement:
"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalised on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams"

*Robin Williams played the genie in the Disney classic, Aladdin*

I hope you are now at peace Genie and may God bring your family comfort during this time of sorrow.

Rest in perfect peace!
