From \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e culture reporter Dave Itzkoff, comes the definitive audiobook biography of Robin Williams – a compelling portrait of one of America’s most beloved and misunderstood entertainers. \u003c\/b\u003eFrom his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in \u003ci\u003eMork \u0026amp; Mindy\u003c\/i\u003e and his Academy Award-winning performance in \u003ci\u003eGood Will Hunting\u003c\/i\u003e, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. He often came across as a man possessed, holding forth on culture and politics while mixing in personal revelations – all with mercurial, tongue-twisting intensity as he inhabited and shed one character after another with lightning speed. But as Dave Itzkoff shows in this revelatory biography, Williams’s comic brilliance masked a deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt, which he drew upon in his comedy and in celebrated films like \u003ci\u003eDead Poets Society\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGood Morning, Vietnam\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Fisher King\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eAladdin\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eMrs. Doubtfire\u003c\/i\u003e, where he showcased his limitless gift for improvisation to bring to life a wide range of characters. And in \u003ci\u003eGood Will Hunting \u003c\/i\u003ehe gave an intense and controlled performance that revealed the true range of his talent. Itzkoff also shows how Williams struggled mightily with addiction and depression – topics he discussed openly while performing and during interviews – and with a debilitating condition at the end of his life that affected him in ways his fans never knew. Drawing on more than a hundred original interviews with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as extensive archival research, \u003ci\u003eRobin\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh and original look at a man whose work touched so many lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49380430577968,"sku":"40cd4p","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49380430512432,"sku":"BDcd4p","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/136509-cd4p-Square.jpg?v=1734998616","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cd4p","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
