Robin Williams: The Legend Behind The Laughs

He was a shy child

Considering Robin Williams was known for his larger than life personality, it might be hard to believe that he was actually a very shy child. He described himself as being quiet and said his first imitation came at the expense of his grandmother, to his mother.

It wasn’t until high school when Robin became involved with his drama department that his personality began to shine through and he overcame his shyness. It was here that his talent became overtly clear to everyone.
