I agree - it’s so weird watching his movies and and thinking he is already dead. So much talent - I was hoping in seeing him in so many more movies to come.
I agree. It must be weird for Mara Rooney to watch clips like this when she was younger interacting with Robin Williams dressed up as a woman. From what I have heard based on interviews both of the (then) children were very fond of Robin who treated them like one of his own.
Nah they added some silicone stuff on his head and covered it entirely before fhe 'perm blush and glasses' search up the makeup video. Not as easy as u think
It's a lot more than a perm and blush. None of his face is original aside from his eyes and lips. It's all silicone foam, takes 4 hours in the makeup chair to do. And it's Robin's acting that sells it more than anything.
He ended his life because he was suffering from a debilitating and progressive illness called Lewy body dementia for which there's no cure. It doesn't matter how much someone is loved or admired, it's not enough to stop them taking their own life. Robin Williams couldn't cope with living within a disabled body and is now a free spirit.
11:37 Mara Wilson (The little girl) actually wrote in her autobiography about how she rewatched this video years later and was embarrassed by how long she took to tell the story and how poor Robin had to intently listen to her story that showed no sign of ending any time soon XD
She also mentioned that the copy she'd watched had been taken down; after reading her book recently, it was a nice surprise when I realized I was seeing the video she'd mentioned.
the persons who did Robin's Makeup did a truly fabulous job, and then Robin adding the voice and personality, and mannerisms WOW! made me wish Mrs. Doubtfire could be my house keeper. miss Robin so much, he truly was ingenious at comedy, and a legend in his own time
Robin could always make anyone laugh no matter what! He had a wonderful gift and always wanted to make others happy despite his own problems. He always put the joy of others before his own. He was just a wonderful person and he is missed dearly. R.I.P., Robin! Your legacy lives on forever!
That mastery of vocal and accent work is amazing. He was able to mix tiny lingual variations like painters mix pigments for precise, beautiful results.
He actually studied drama at Juliard. He started out as a series stage actor. Comedy just came naturally to him and that's the path he went down at first.
"Not like the last group I was with, the daycare center for the damned." LOL It's been a looong time since I've laughed out loud this many times, but Robin Williams did it here. What an amazing talent, gone too soon.
Out of all the major celebrity deaths that have ever happened Robin's passing was the only celebrity death I actually shed tears over. This movie was like I tried to put myself as a small kid into this movie hoping that my dad would love me enough to want to dress up disguised as an old nanny to spend time with me after the divorce of my parents but my dad wouldn't even try to see me dressed as himself. Only by court order was he forced to. I always wished Robin was my real father in real life especially how he was a true father to the teen son in this film. I just wanted my dad to accept me as his son. But he never did.
I was smiling, giggling and suppressing bombastic fits of laughter the whole time when he was alone for the initial number of takes. He was such a natural with the children and with Sally. Man, he made me happy. I miss you, Robin.
I was on lunch break and saw a post on Facebook, instantly thinking it was one of those stupid celebrity death hoaxes. My brother texted to tell me it wasn’t a hoax, I spent the rest of my lunch break in tears.
When Robin was in character he WAS that character. There was no checkpoint or transition between himself in real life and the characters he played. That is an extremely rare talent in itself, one I fear will never be properly replicated in my lifetime.
Growing up I was CONVINCED they hired an elderly actress to portray him as Mrs. Doubtfire. Imagine my surprise and awe at finding out it was Robin Williams the whole way through.
Robin was a treasure. I remember how I felt the day we lost him. Truly devesated. The man was such a massive part of my childhood and a lot of my adulthood.
Robin Williams actually had to rein it in to play the genteel Mrs. Doubtfire. He will always be remembered for the way he made us all believe that he was an old lady.
I wish Robin Williams was alive today to see just how talented he was & how much he is missed by the millions who loved him. RIP Mr Williams, you are irreplacable for sure.
Ever since I saw the Dr.Who episode where they take Vincent Van Gogh in the future to a museum filled with his paintings I been thinking about how other people would react if we could bring them back for a moment and show them their legacy. Can you imagine taking Kurt Cobain from a day before his suicide and bring him in 2019 and turning on the radio and it's Smell like teen spirits playing?
For goodness sake. Robin Williams didn't take his life because he was depressed. He was suffering from a debilitating and progressive illness called Lewy body dementia for which there is no cure. He couldn't and didn't want to live trapped in a disabled body. He knew he was loved.
I didn't even realize this was Robin Williams until 3:35. I thought this was screen tests for other potential actors for the role. Robin and the makeup artist were incredible.
Remarkable to watch. RW was the consummate actor and comedian. Relaxed, into character, with a gleam and twinkle in his eyes. He appears calm, without a hint of nerves or insecurity. And no drama or show. Just pure fun!
Robin Williams: The world sure misses you. Mara Wilson: The little girl I wanted to adopt. Sally Field: So lovely, wanted to look just like you. Thanks for sharing such wonderful memories!
99% of us never knew him personally or even met the man face to face…yet a large portion of us feels legitimate grief of his passing. When you can impact people so deeply without ever interacting with them in the present, you have become a master of your craft, the highest level one could reach and most never come close too.
I'm pretty sure he's the only human on this planet I've never known but still shed a tear when I saw that in the news. I didn't even cry when my grandpa died...or Betty White lol
I lived in San Francisco from 1993 until 2010. I worked for a family that lived across the street from Robin Williams' home in Seacliff He had just moved in there recently, and he had a giant wire topiary frame almost 25' tall of a T Rex dinosaur installed in his side yard, just waiting for the gardener to add the greenery. On Halloween, he passed out toothbrushes instead of candy, and the kids were bummed... I entered a bookstore on Fillmore Street one late afternoon and realized Robin had walked in quickly ahead of me, his head down and his hands in his pockets. He spoke very softly to the cashier. He had a book on order. Complete opposite of his public persona. But it wasn't so much because he was trying to go unnoticed; he was just low-key when "off-duty"... To prove that -- one of the best stories I had read about him in the local Nob Hill Gazette was when he and his wife Marsha were coming out of a movie theater one evening, and they were approached by a guy who just wanted to express his admiration for Robin's work. Robin and Marsha were heading off to dinner at a restaurant just down the street, and they invited the guy to join them, which he did. Dream come true for that guy! But that's who Robin was: gracious and kind I was a nanny back then, and one of the boys was a classmate of Robin's son, Zach Robin Williams was "just one of the locals" to us (when he was around!), and we loved him. He was "ours" Sorry this is so long, but I'm glad I could post this and tell people he was the real deal My friend's husband was the fire chief who responded to the call to Robin's house in Tiburon when he died. I cried for days... I still miss him
at the 6:30 mark they finally found the look and I think that quickly helped him complete the voice too. The full glasses really help the transformation.
Oh my goodness, wasn't Mara Wilson a little cutie in this screen test. She reminds me of my little granddaughter now. She all grown up of cause now. And how about Mrs Doubtfire himself. 🤣 RIP Mr funny man RW.
The makeup is totally amazing, he's completely unrecognizable. And he's obviously using quirks of the makeup as bits to create the character. It's just a complete synergy.
I Miss this Man so much! Nobody like him. He was the greatest comedian and dramatic actor of our times. He could make u laugh and cry in the same movie . What made him stand out from all other actors was his genius at improvisation and he was a non stop laughing machine. What a wonderful man who gave it all to the world even though he had his problems and sadness. Always grateful to him, he’ll stay in my heart, always. ❤️
Can you imagine any other actor playing Mrs. doubtfire but Robin Williams. This shows you what a genius he is!
Tariq FH the role was originally given to tim allen but he turned it down to work on home improvement
thank god
Tariq Hussainan he was the best of the best.

Even in the screen tests Robin is giving the writers ideas for whats funny
I miss him. so much
You guys didn’t even know him...

me too !
You didn’t know him love
I agree - it’s so weird watching his movies and and thinking he is already dead. So much talent - I was hoping in seeing him in so many more movies to come.
This film is an absolute classic. Watching Robin interact with the kids is precious.
a priceless film maybe malex4321

I genuinely forgot Mrs. Doubtfire wasn’t a real-life woman multiple times during this screen-test footage. Robin Williams, you were master-class...
Me too.
Also the other way round. When "She" speaks with Robin's voice....uuu
It makes me cry when I think he is not here any more GOD BLESS YOU ROBIN XX
Trish Green it s even interesting to see Robin Williams cry that was quite rear ERROR quite rare
Rest in powerful peace my favorite celebrity and homie of all time 🙏

Lucky crew!
They laughed the whole time!
Would have just about died watching him drag the sofa around 😂 and the Princess Anne joke
I mean can you blame them?
A perm, blush, and glasses make a BIG difference. I'm glad they have screen tests.
Nah they added some silicone stuff on his head and covered it entirely before fhe 'perm blush and glasses' search up the makeup video. Not as easy as u think

@@Jushwa I think they were trying to say that what they added ON TOP of what he was wearing in the first screen test is what made it perfect
He was an original. There'll not be another one like him.
Charles Price never ☹️
Agreed. He was a great actor
Yes Charles Price that is true
@@shorty94ism okay whatever you say geek
@Robert Hays are n t we all what Robert
I so miss Robin Williams, he has no idea what a delight he was. I hope he found the peace and happiness he couldn't get in this world.
How can he find peace and happiness when he hung himself, he must of felt like shit
He ended his life because he was suffering from a debilitating and progressive illness called Lewy body dementia for which there's no cure.

Breaks my heart that he was so tormented inside and is gone. He gave everyone such joy.

Why would there be tissues
For it.
He most certainly is Carly C.

It’s horribly sad to think of the torture that plagued Robin at his end. He made the world so happy.

One of his most genius roles. And that's saying a lot.
Amazing actor and such a brilliant film.

Great image. So true.
He actually studied drama at Juliard. He started out as a series stage actor. Comedy just came naturally to him and that's the path he went down at first.
Love how he just moves the couch without giving a damn.
“Can I cross my legs?”
“Sure I can, this is not “Basic Instinct””
The guy was the best,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love it!!!!

I cried so much when this man died. It’s so so unfair that we don’t have him around anymore. RIP Robin
It's sad you wanna focus on his death instead of enjoying him in this video. It's like he's only a dead person to you

It's interesting that Robin refers to Mrs Doubtfire as English, when the accent he's chosen is non-specific Scots. Wonderful footage.
Art Bristow A wonderful mix of, well you don’t know where the hell I’m from.
Just saw an interview where he says it’s mainly Glaswegian. Worked with a Glaswegian director before this
Everyone in the UK is English to Americans.
@@gaynor1721 I always say this
@@gaynor1721 Actually I believe it is intentional as Stewart told him that the accent is not English.

Male fraud...I actually laughed out loud.
Incredible control. Amazing actor.
the man was a genius. I still remember the day he died. I was at work, I had to excuse myself to the bathroom to cry.
i was just getting to the gym from work. Did some crying on the way home
It s alright for men to cry too Brian
I was on a vacation and I cried my days
I was on lunch break and saw a post on Facebook, instantly thinking it was one of those stupid celebrity death hoaxes. My brother texted to tell me it wasn’t a hoax, I spent the rest of my lunch break in tears.
"Did you ever make up a story?"
Mara grows up and writes books
There aren't enough tissues for this
so true ;-(
M I t h r a Music nope

i hope she copyright claimed them
When Robin was in character he WAS that character. There was no checkpoint or transition between himself in real life and the characters he played. That is an extremely rare talent in itself, one I fear will never be properly replicated in my lifetime.
Such incredible talent, not only staying in character and accent but improvising the whole time.
"I was in prison for male fraud."
LOL
how do I know or we that you 're not just bluffing about that sweiland75
He was hilarious…seen him perform with nothing…the master of improv.
I could never get over how well he did the voice, he was so talented 😢. Closing your eyes you could of sworn it was an elderly woman 😂.
Could HAVE
It was. He completely transformed.
Yup it was amazing how he came to life as this woman
Growing up I was CONVINCED they hired an elderly actress to portray him as Mrs. Doubtfire. Imagine my surprise and awe at finding out it was Robin Williams the whole way through.
Yes he was so talented. He was my favorite comedian and actor. Growing up I worshipped him for how damn funny he was.
Robin was a treasure. I remember how I felt the day we lost him. Truly devesated. The man was such a massive part of my childhood and a lot of my adulthood.
“I’ve been in prison for male fraud” LMAOOO he always gets my laughs 😂

I really want to buy this dvd now. One of the best movies of all time
10:45 lol so cute, Mara didn't know if she had to answer with her real name or her character's name.
Thanks for pointing that out. It's delightful. I forgot how well they interacted in the movie.
Grunthos The Flatulent Watching Robin with children is just beautiful. ♥️
I know right. I loved that
he made it look so effortless. rip, buddy.
He was so great with the kids too, you could see it so natural and caring
The 80's and 90's were magical ❤
Imagine the honour of working. With this man
How very special and terribly sweet...a very dear man.
tropicalpancake56 totally misunderstood, lots of pain behind the smile
Hilarious af, but Mrs. Doubtfire’s mask up close without glasses is TERRIFYING
Yeah it looks different compare to the actual one.
6:34 is the proper one used in the film. Better actually
🤡
What a tragedy it is that we lost this comic genius far too soon.
I didn't even realize this was Robin Williams until 3:35. I thought this was screen tests for other potential actors for the role. Robin and the makeup artist were incredible.
I was really hoping to see others trying the role
The others considered were Tim Allen and Bryan Cranston, who were also considered for the part of Stu.
One of my all time favorite movies, pure genius. The voice was spot on, reminds me of my Mother-in-law. She was Finish.
"Do you mind sitting down for us? Oh God no, this is not Basic Instinct". The leg cross scene with Mrs. Doubtfire would have been comedy gold!
I've seen this years ago and could never find it again. Thank you so much for uploading this.

Robin's acting performance in this movie is one of the best ever done in a film. He was so good!!
Oh what a wonderful human being. RIP Robin.
"Well you don't know where the hell I'm from, do you?" 🤣
A great actor loved lots of his comedy films, I also remember watching Mork and Mindy back in the late 70s. Truely will be missed. GRHS.
Gone way too soon. America wasn't ready to say goodbye to him. And, he loved America.
It’s crazy like I forget that its actually Robin and not a real old lady. His voice is so good
Robin.
A little peace of heaven on earth.
You are so missed.
Rest in peace you bloody legend!
God bless you Robin Williams, thank you for all your hard work! My angels watch over and you have found peace.
The most amazing man ever. Hands down. He is a genius and we will never get someone like him again!
absolute genius,, awesome to watch these
Isn't he just phenomenal? Can never look at him with dry eyes.

Patricia F. it s nice to have different videos of Robin Williams in the living days but we would all rather have him instead
99% of us never knew him personally or even met the man face to face…yet a large portion of us feels legitimate grief of his passing. When you can impact people so deeply without ever interacting with them in the present, you have become a master of your craft, the highest level one could reach and most never come close too.
I'm pretty sure he's the only human on this planet I've never known but still shed a tear when I saw that in the news. I didn't even cry when my grandpa died...or Betty White lol
1000% agree.
I lived in San Francisco from 1993 until 2010. I worked for a family that lived across the street from Robin Williams' home in Seacliff
He had just moved in there recently, and he had a giant wire topiary frame almost 25' tall of a T Rex dinosaur installed in his side yard, just waiting for the gardener to add the greenery. On Halloween, he passed out toothbrushes instead of candy, and the kids were bummed...
I entered a bookstore on Fillmore Street one late afternoon and realized Robin had walked in quickly ahead of me, his head down and his hands in his pockets. He spoke very softly to the cashier.
