Mara Wilson, who starred alongside Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, remembered the late actor in a moving blog post.

Mara Wilson Remembers Robin Williams

Wilson played one of Williams' kids in the popular 1993 family dramedy that featured Williams in one of his best-known roles – a father who disguises himself as an elderly housekeeper/nanny to see his kids after losing custody in a divorce settlement.

“He always reminded me a little of my father," wrote Wilson, who was only five while filming Mrs. Doubtfire. "Robin Williams, as I knew him, was warm, gentle, expressive, nurturing and brilliant. While it can be hard for me to remember filming Doubtfire, I've been flooded with memories in the past few days. It's humbling to know I am one of the few people who was there for these moments, that he's no longer around to share them."

One of the things that Wilson remembers from working with Williams was how much he improvised on set – including his imitation of a hotdog. "He was a creator as much as a performer," wrote Wilson. "After one of my friends posted Robin's ‘impression of a hot dog' on Facebook, I realized she had no idea that wasn't in the script. […] Sometimes I wonder why they didn't give him at least partial screenwriting credit."

Wilson goes on to detail briefly catching up with Williams while he was working on What Dreams May Come, noting how vulnerable he seemed and that, “It was as if I was seeing him for the first time. He was a person now.”

Wilson On 'Doubtfire' Sequel

Wilson also somewhat vaguely addressed the prospect of doing a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire, which she’d openly stated she had no interest in doing.

"I had thought maybe the next time I saw Robin I would explain myself to him, let him know that I had loved working with him but didn't feel like we could do it again, and that being in major studio films again meant a level of scrutiny I didn't think I could deal with," she wrote. "I wanted to apologize and know he understood. It hurts to know I can't."

In conclusion, Wilson shared a sentiment that many who knew Williams have shared since learning of his tragic death; he touched a lot of lives with his generous spirit and dedication to making people laugh. “If you can affect someone when they're young, you are in their heart forever. It is remarkable how many lives Robin touched, and how many people said, just as I had, that he reminded them of their fathers,” wrote Wilson. “I suppose—could I really end this any other way?—we're all his goddamn kids, too."
