"I personally found Robin Williams pretty darn hilarious, and couldn't stop laughing during his movies. One of my ultimate favorite movies by him is "Mrs. Doubtfire", this movie make me crack up every damn TIME! and I memorized almost every single word in the film. Rest In Paradise Legend, you rock."

While his career was taking off, Williams faced many personal challenges. He developed a drug and alcohol problem while working on the sitcom Mork and Mindy, and would struggle with addiction for more than two decades. He also became involved in several tumultuous romantic relationships; while married to actress Valerie Velardi, he was involved with other women. Williams and Velardi ultimately divorced in 1988. The following year, he married his son's nanny, Marsha Garces.
Years after his death, Williams's show business career and final days remained a captivating subject for fans. Dave Itzkoff's Robin became a best-seller following its May 2018 publication, and two months later, HBO offered a character study of the comedian via footage of stand-up clips and interviews with family and friends in Williams: Come Inside My Mind.
