From \u003ci\u003eMrs. Doubtfire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJumanji\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAladdin\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eGood Will Hunting\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDead Poets Society\u003c\/i\u003e, Robin Williams brought laughter--and deep joy--to a generation. He was sparklingly funny, a lightning-fast improviser, and a wonderful comic. But what touched millions of people was the warmth and compassion he exuded. The deeply tragic manner in which he took his own life has come as a shock to the world and caused people to wonder about the desperately troubled life behind the laughter he gave to millions. With Twitter igniting from record volumes of tributes to the much-loved actor, the death of Robin Williams has caused a public outpouring of grief not seen since the passing of Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston. Emily Herbert's sensitive and thoughtful biography celebrates his genius, and attempts to understand what could have driven such a warm and gifted man to take his own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Herbert\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eLady Gaga: Behind the Fame \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMichael Jackson: King of Pop\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67960949768413,"sku":"9781784183004","price":20.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/55OUgwkcFx9781784183004.webp?v=1790833837","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/robin-williams-when-the-laughter-stops-1951-2014-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
