Robin’s friends and colleagues also took time to remember the comedian, including producer George Schlatter, who helped kick-start Robin’s career by booking him on Laugh In in 1977.

“I had fun with Robin Williams because he intellectually was more informed, had more history, more knowledge, more vocabulary than anybody,” he told People.

“Today, I’m reflecting on the immense love you shared with all of us—your family, your friends, and everyone you met.”

“You continue to inspire me every single day to do whatever I can to help create a more connected and loving world for our family. Love you forever,” he concluded.

NEVER FORGET

Robin’s friends and colleagues also took time to remember the comedian, including producer George Schlatter, who helped kick-start Robin’s career by booking him on Laugh In in 1977.

“I had fun with Robin Williams because he intellectually was more informed, had more history, more knowledge, more vocabulary than anybody,” he told People.

“A discussion with Robin was exciting because you never knew where it was gonna go because he had so much information.

“That brain was so full of information. He was more than a performer. He was an experience,” he added.

“I cherish the times I spent with Robin Williams.”

Comedian Pauly Shore, who knew Robin earlier in his career, also remembered the actor on his death anniversary.

“The guy was special,” he told the outlet.

“They definitely broke the mold when they made him. Just look at old footage — even anyone can testify to that he was just unique, and his improv skills mixed in with the standup was just another level.”

When Scott remembered working with Robin for the first time, he said that the actor was “so calm and charming and disarming.”

“We were looking at the storyboards together and talking about the script and talking with our directors, and then finally when the recording studio red light turned on, some sort of magical switch got flipped and he turned into the Robin Williams that I was expecting,” he added.

“He was amazing. He was incredible, both sides of him — the sort of calm and soothing side, and the manic genius side.”

When remembering the day of his death, Scott noted how it “really felt that the world had changed in some fundamental way.”

FILM LEGEND

Robin’s career began in the 1980s as he landed a starring gig in the ABC sitcom Mork & Mindy.

He made his film debut around the same time in the Popeye movie.

Robin garnered a massive fanbase throughout his time in Hollywood, appearing in over 60 films.

He won various accolades including an Academy Award, two Primetime Emmy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, and five Grammy Awards.

The screen legend struggled with depression and addiction throughout his career, however, which led him to take his own life.

After his death, Robin’s widow, Susan Schneider, opened up about what the actor had been going through.

“Robin was losing his mind and he was aware of it. He kept saying, ‘I just want to reboot my brain,'” she said.

Robin’s autopsy revealed he was suffering from Lewy body disease, a form of dementia that enhanced his depression.
