On Robin Williams’s birthday, we’re taking a journey through his immense photo album in search of the late actor and comedian’s greatest pics. We lost Williams back in 2014 but he remains hugely popular and probably always will be. His comedy, and many of his movies will stand the test of time. Here’s a look back at Robin Williams.
