Robin Williams’ hilarious comedy combined with the characters he embodied was a golden combination in film. While it took $25 million to make Mrs. Doubtfire, the film grossed $440 million at the box office.

Williams was a versatile actor who didn’t have to make everyone laugh all the time. His role as a psychologist in Goodwill Hunting and an English teacher in Dead Poets Society are fan favorites and critics said, “inspired a generation.” Losing someone whose talents ran as deep as Williams was upsetting for everyone.
