Just weeks before today’s anniversary, Robin’s son Zak Williams marked what would have been his father’s 74th birthday on July 21 with a heartfelt Instagram tribute.
Today, fans around the world are reflecting on the beloved actor and comedian’s life and legacy. Robin was celebrated around the world for the wide range of characters he played in several movies, but it was his ability to make people laugh that stood out the most. From his iconic run as Mork, a goofy but lovable alien, on Mork & Mindy, to his role as the Genie in Disney’s Aladdin, Robin knew how to put a smile on fans’ faces.
The world was devastated to lose the beloved comedian by suicide on August 11, 2014. After his death, an autopsy revealed that he had Lewy body dementia. The condition leads to cognitive decline over the years and can cause severe depression, anxiety and hallucinations. Susan Williams, Robin’s wife, has been vocal about his diagnosis since his death and revealed that doctors initially misdiagnosed it as Parkinson’s disease.
In May 2014, doctors had given Susan a small bit of hope with the diagnosis of Parkinson's, and toward the end of July in that same year, she thought things were getting back on track. When they were in the second weekend of August, she explained that his “delusional looping” had begun to calm down.
