Sponsored by Pan Macmillan to celebrate the release of Dave Itzkoff’s new Robin Williams biography ROBIN
While he will forever be remembered for his comedies, Robin Williams’ film career was far more diverse and multi-faceted than people often gave him credit for. Obviously there’s the Mrs Doubtfires and Jumanjis that we all love, but he also appeared in critically acclaimed films like Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting, gave an utterly creepy turn in One Hour Photo, and also made fascinating outliers like Death To Smoochy.
ROBIN, the definitive new biography of Williams by New York Times culture writer David Itzkoff, exhaustively covers all this and more. The book goes from his masterful early stand-up, through to his TV breakthrough on Mork & Mindy and onto his Oscar winning film career, as well as sensitively chronicling his struggles with depression and addiction. It looks to be the defining tome on Williams’ life.
With that in mind, here’s a test to see how well you know the movies of the late great Robin Williams.
ROBIN by David Itzkoff is out now from Amazon and Audible.
