“For my children, he was Uncle Robin, for everyone he worked with, he was the best boss imaginable. For me, he was not just an inspiration, but a Father I always dreamed of. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how enormous he was. for those who have ever had the pleasure to meet him. I will miss him every day, but I know that the memory of him will live forever “- the actress confessed after Williams’ suicide.
