Memories by Robin Williams

Robin Williams, who died at age 63 on Monday, Aug. 11, from an apparent suicide, made one final update to Instagram several weeks before his death. The late comedian's latest post on social media celebrated the 25th birthday of his daughter Zelda, and included a throwback pic of the father of three with his baby girl.

 Zelda, whom Williams shares with his second wife Marsha Garces, celebrated her 25th birthday on July 31. On the day before her birthday, Zelda — like her father — shared a throwback pic of herself. "25 tomorrow…" the actress wrote. "Other than the blond, not much has changed. Thanks for the 9 month womb residency mama! All my love." (Williams and Garces were married from 1989 to 2008. Williams and his first wife Valerie Velardi were married for 10 years until they split in 1988.)

The Oscar-winning actor’s upcoming projects include a sequel to Williams’ 1993 hit Mrs. Doubtfire in development by 20th Century Fox and indie comedy A Film By Alan Stuart Eisner.

Beloved actor Robin Williams died Monday morning at age 63, leaving behind four completed films that are slated to hit theaters within the next 12 months.

Always game to entertain children, Williams reprised his role as Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, which he already wrapped shooting and Fox is set to release on Dec. 19, allowing audiences to enjoy his comic gifts over the holidays.

 

Williams also stars in the holiday comedy Merry Friggin’ Christmas, which Phase 4 Films plans to release in the U.S. on Nov. 7. Universal Pictures International is distributing overseas. The film co-stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lauren Graham, Joel McHale, Candice Bergen, Jeffrey Tambor, Oliver Platt, Clark Duke, Tim Heidecker and Pierce Gagnon.

Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, produced Christmas, which was written by Phil Johnston, who worked as an assistant to writer-director Patrick Stettner on Williams’ 2006 movie The Night Listener

Williams recently starred opposite Bob Odenkirk in Dito Montiel’s drama Boulevard, which debuted earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The Aladdin star also provided the voice of Dennis the Dog in Absolutely Anything, which features Simon Pegg and Kate Beckinsale in live-action roles, and is slated for release next year.

 20th Century Fox had also been developing a sequel to Williams’ 1993 hit Mrs. Doubtfire, though the actor had yet to read a script.

Williams had been attached to star opposite Oliver Cooper (Project X) in the indie movie A Film By Alan Stuart Eisner, though the film was not especially close to starting production.

Williams left behind an impressive body of work that proved he could excel doing both comedies and dramas. He won an Oscar for his supporting performance as Matt Damon‘s therapist in Good Will Hunting, and was previously nominated for Good Morning, Vietnam, Dead Poets Society and The Fisher King.
