Robin McLaurim Williams is an American Actor and comedian with a net an estimated net worth of $130 million. Williams was born on July 21st, 1951 in Chicago, Illinois. Williams grew up in a very prominent family. His father, Robert was a senior executive at Lincoln-Mercury Motors in charge of the Midwest area and his mother, Laruen was a former model from New Orleans. He grew up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He also spent his later teen years in San Francisco. Growing up Williams was considered a shy both who hardly ever spoke. One of the only inclinations that he might grow up to be a comic was his dead-one impersonation of his grandmother. Beyond that he would not come out of his shell until he began to participate with his high school plays. Here Williams found like minded individuals who he could finally trust to show his true self. It was just the coming out of his shell that Williams enjoyed the drama department he also loved it for art of acting. It was around this time that he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his days performing. After highs school he enrolled in the prestigious and very competitive (only 20 students were let in that year) at Julliard School. It was here where he would meet longtime friend and future Super man Christopher Reeves. The two we're also the only pair to be accepted into the advance program for that year. While at Julliard he was encouraged by his instructor to focus more on standup comedy. With that advice in hand, Williams began to hit the stand up circuit. Audiences quickly fell in love with his erratic behavior and quick one liners. Hollywood came calling when he was cast as the alien Mork on the Gary Marshall produced "Happy Days". His stint on the show was such a success that Marshall soon crafted a television show based on the Mork character. The show teamed Mork up with human being Mindy and featured Mork trying to get through his day with hilarious results. The show ran from 1978 to 1981 and proved to be wildly successful. Mork had become an icon in television history as he was featured in posters and even on children's lunch boxes. The show also did wonders for William's stand up. He would do three wildly successful HBO comedy specials. With Williams now having overtaken the comedy and world and the television world there was only place to go from there... MOVIES! One of the few parts that Williams would win would be the starring role in the live action version of "Popeye". Williams followed that film up with the unconventional choice of "The world according to Garp". The film was an odd choice for Williams because it featured the actors in ways the American public has never seen. The film is a quirky comic drama that is based on John Irving's novel of the same name. During his long career it has not been a surprise to see Williams play more dramatic roles in films such as Good Will Hunting, The Fisher King, and One hour photo. With that being said Williams has also done many humorous parts in films such as Hook, Jumanji, and the wildly successful Mrs. Doubt fire. Williams is now considered a great actor and even received an Oscar for best supporting actor in 1997's Good Will Hunting. Along with the Oscar he also received a best actor nomination for his work in the film, "Good Morning Vietnam". Beyond the entertaining Williams has overcome a lot in his late. In the late 70's and early 80's he suffered an addiction to cocaine. Though it was hard to quit he felt like he had to. His motivation came partly from the death of his friend (fellow actor and addict) John Belushi. Belushi died in the early 80's from an overdose which helped Williams want to quit honoring him. In addition to his friend's death he also felt like he had to because he was about to become a father. In 2006 Williams would check himself into another rehab center but this time for alcohol. In 2009 Williams was hospitalized due to heart problems. He underwent surgery to replace his aortic valve. Williams has been able to overcome his problems with the help of his wife Marsha Garces and their two children. Williams has another son from a previous marriage with Valerie Velardi. He currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
