The Truth About Robin Williams' Final Months

Robin Williams' comedic genius and acting chops earned him a lot of love from his fans. However, away from the spotlight, his final year was defined by his struggle against a mysterious illness. This is what the last 12 months of Robin Williams' life were like.

Robin Williams made a return to TV with his sitcom, The Crazy Ones, on CBS in September 2013. While there was plenty of anticipation around the show when it first aired, it failed to take off and was discontinued after the first season. This was extremely disheartening for the actor, as the show had been touted as his comeback.

His co-star, Sarah Michelle Geller, remembered the actor after his demise, telling People,

"My life is a better place because I knew Robin Williams [...] To my children he was Uncle Robin, to everyone he worked with, he was the best boss anyone had ever known, and to me he was not just an inspiration but he was the father I had always dreamed of having."

Robin was under immense pressure to revive his career and was working on films like A Merry Friggin' Christmas, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.

He didn't receive interesting movie offers while he was struggling to deliver commercially successful projects, and many believe that this added stressor made matters worse for the actor.
