Robin McLaurin Williams was born to Robert Fitgerald Williams and Laurie "Punky" McLaurin Smith at St Luke’s Hospital in Chicago Illinois. He had two older half-brothers.
He described himself as a quiet child and that he overcame his shyness in high school when he got involved with the drama club.
Robin Williams is best remembered for bringing his comedy and quick wit to television and films. His credits on film and television are numerous, his talent and wit in concert legendary. See a partial list of his credits at Robin Williams Filmography
Robin's first memorable character was "Mork" on the television show "Mork and Mindy". He said that he was thrilled when comedian Jonathan Winters joined the cast as their son, since Jonathan was a comedic hero of his. That made sense, since they both used a stream of consciousness approach to their humor. They both also suffered from depression.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
