À propos de cet audio
With his twinkling eyes, boundless energy and unrivalled natural wit, Robin Williams was the comedian who brought laughter to a generation.
Through roles in cherished films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, Aladdin and Hook, he became the genial face of family comedy. His child-like enthusiasm was infectious, sweeping viewers away. Allied to his lightning-quick improvisation and ability to riff lewdly off any cue thrown at him, Robin was that rare thing - a true comic genius who appealed to adults and children equally.
He could also play it straight, and empathetic depth came to him naturally. A poignant performance in Good Will Hunting won him an Academy Award whilst his masterfully chilling turn in psychological thriller Insomnia shocked audiences and hinted at a darker side.
What truly caught the imagination, though, was his good-heartedness. Warmth radiated from him on-screen, but he was legendary for his off-screen acts of selfless generosity. Where most Hollywood A-listers demand outrageous pampering in their contract riders, he always insisted that the production company hire a full quota of homeless people to help make his movies.
But behind the laughter lay a deeply troubled man, and tragedy would follow. At midday, on 11th August 2014, Robin Williams was pronounced dead at his California home. The verdict was suicide. He had battled depression and addiction for many years and was allegedly beset by financial difficulties.
Virginia Blackburn's sensitive and thoughtful biography celebrates his genius and warmth, but also attempts to understand what could have driven such a gentle and gifted man to so tragic an end.

A Beautiful Man
I loved Robin and still do to this day. He was an extraordinary person. My absolute favorite comedian and actor.
You are so sadly missed Robin but you still make me laugh.
I loved listening to this book.

Just ok … I finish the audiobook because it is Robin Williams
After listening to Trevor Noah , Will and Phil Collin’s auto biographies narrated by them , I was disappointed on the format of this audiobook which is a series of quotes put together to make up his life story. I continued because I was curious about Robin’s life ! A bit difficult to listen to because my own child suffers from depression. Not a feel good story !

Great for insomnia…you’ll be out in no time.
Absolutely horrible. I kept thinking it would get better, but it just got continually worse. I thought it was about Robin Williams Life, and it was just a play-by-play of all of the scenes in all of the movies and sitcoms he was in. Horrible.

Terrible book I am returning it.
This is a trashy British tabloid account of the Great Robin Williams read by a nauseating British troal
