Robin Williams through the years

After news broke of Williams’s death last year, mourners in Boston turned the bench on which the iconic ‘Good Will Hunting’ scene was shot into a shrine to his life and work.

The comic hosted NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ three times in the ‘80s. Here he is delivering an opening monologue from his 1988 appearance.

One of Williams’s first feature films was in 1988. ‘Good Morning Vietnam’ won him a Golden Globe for his part as Adrian Cronauer, a radio DJ on Armed Forces Radio Service during the Vietnam War.

Just a year after ‘Good Morning Vietnam,’ Williams pulled another iconic performance out of the bag as the effervescent Mr. Keating in the film ‘Dead Poets Society.’

One of Williams’s most notable stand up turns was his last appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson’ in 1992.

Williams won the Golden Globe for his voice work as the Genie in Walt Disney’s ‘Aladdin,’ along with the hearts of everyone who watched.

Another classic role of his is undoubtably Mrs. Doubtfire. The 1993 movie about a father disguising himself as a nanny to spend time with his kids was even being considered for a sequel before Williams’s death.

A beloved children’s classic, ‘Jumanji’ was another high point in Williams’s standout career.

Williams made an appearance on NBC’s hit sitcom ‘Friends’ in 1997.

Williams starred as the title character in the film ‘Patch Adams.’ The movie, which was based on a true story, sends the message that laughter is the best medicine.

Williams won the hearts of Bostonians for his part in ‘Good Will Hunting’ as therapist Sean Maguire.

One of Williams’s last roles was playing Teddy Roosevelt in ‘Night at the Museum’ opposite Ben Stiller. Williams never saw the final installment of the trilogy, but like in the movie, the magic of his performances will always live on.
