Biography
Robin McLaurin Williams was born in Illinois in 1951. The family of successful Ford executive Robert Fitzgerald Williams and former model Laurie McLaurin Smith already had four children from previous marriages at the time of Robin's birth. The Williams were very rich. When Robin was 11 years old, the family moved from Chicago to the suburbs of Detroit, where they settled in a house of 40 rooms.
Williams later revealed that his wealth and famous pedigree (his father was from a prominent Evansville family and his mother was the senator's great-great-granddaughter) had not brought him happiness. The boy was lonely and communicated more often with maids than with his parents. Expensive toys and luxury did little comfort Robin, who was overweight and therefore very shy. In his childhood memoirs, the actor admitted that his only companion and friend in his early years was his imagination.
To overcome shyness and find friends Robin Williams helped a sense of humor, got from his mother. The first beauty of New Orleans once appeared at a charity evening in an expensive dress and with a piece of dark scotch on her teeth, giving food to talk about themselves for a few days. When Robin grew up as a child as a teenager, he managed to turn into the most popular guy in the class.

After graduating from high school, Robin Williams decided to continue acting. In 1973, he became a student at the famous New York school Juilliard, where he studied theater for some time.
