Touching gesture on the day of death
Billy Crystal appreciates Robin Williams
Eleven years after Robin Williams’ death, Billy Crystal reminds his late friend with a moving Instagram message.
Actor Robin Williams (1951-2014) died on August 11, 2014. On the eleventh anniversary of Williams’ death, Billy Crystal (77) spoke up with a touching message. The actor shared a photo that shows him and Williams in a familiar atmosphere – laughing and relaxed on the set of her common comedy “A Father too much” (in the original: “Fathers’ Day”) from 1997.
“Miss you, my friend,” Crystal wrote about the snapshot, which documents the close connection of the two Hollywood greats. The comedy “Fathers’ Day” directed by Ivan Reitman showed Williams and Crystal as two men who are sent by the same ex -lover in search of their missing son – who could theoretically come from each of the two. The cast also included Julia Louis-Dreyfus (64) and Nastassja Kinski (64).
The friendship between Crystal and Williams went beyond joint film projects. From 1986 they formed the moderator trio of the comic relief USA beefic events together with Whoopi Goldberg (69). These regular events of the charity collected donations for homeless people.
