Robin Williams was born July 21st, 1951 in Chicago. I was born September 21st, 1951 in St. Louis. Always felt an affinity with Robin. On more than one occasion, his skills as an actor moved me to tears. We lost Robin McLaurin Williams too soon.Â

Robin Williams and his kids…
On what would have been Robin’s 74th birthday in July 2025, his older son Zak  remembered his dad  by writing in an emotional  Instagram post, “My father lived to make people feel seen. He gave permission to feel deeply and to laugh through the pain. In his absence, that mission continues.

And to find paths of light, even in the dark corners.”
