Before Robin Williams became one of the most beloved movie stars of all time, he was an alien named Mork on the hit TV series Mork & Mindy. In this Cinetvreels short, we look back at how Williams’ lightning-fast wit, unforgettable energy, and incredible talent launched him from television into an extraordinary Hollywood career. From Dead Poets Society, Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, Hook, and The Birdcage to an Academy Award and multiple Golden Globes, Robin Williams became much more than a successful actor—he became part of our childhoods and one of entertainment’s most cherished performers. Not bad for a visitor who came from another planet and eventually became a star.
