Robin Williams struggled to remember his lines.
This was unusual for the hyperverbal, Oscar-winning actor, and it hit him hard in Vancouver in 2014 during the filming of Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, the third movie in the successful family franchise.

I watched the Crazy Ones because SMG was in it, I was not expecting the. Same Robin. He was older.
His death hit Sarah hard, as it did all his friends.
He did not have Parkinsons, although the disease was similar. I recall reading an article by his wife detailing the last part of his life, and describing the terrible disease that he had.
From everything I heard, he died during an autoerotic asphyxiation episode.
Hi did’t have Parkinesons, he had a much worst disease.
Lord, please forgive for my thoughts on his suicide. He was much wosre off than I had thought, and it is not my place to judge.
From the article:
Pam Dawber, Robin’s co-star from “Mork & Mindy,” joined the cast of “The Crazy Ones” to raise ratings. On set, Dawber saw a deeply changed man from the riotous and often inappropriate (she says Robin groped and flashed her on set) man she had worked with decades before.
Nope, that was David Carradine.
My aunt died of Alzheimers. It’s the worst. Emotionally it took its toll on me too when it was my turn to take care of her. Not only will your memory fail you, the patient will also violently turn as well. That’s why I took a Nurse Aide’s course years ago to prep for it..
A number of years ago I read an article written by a US soldier who had served in Iraq or Afghanistan (I can’t remember which).
He was writing about his experiences over there. One day he went into the mess hall, and everybody was gathered in one corner of the room. So he wandered over to see what was going on.
And there was Robin Williams, telling jokes.
RIP, Robin Williams.
Look up the details of Robin Williams death.
The amount of toxins he put in to his body over time could not have helped.
Yes it was. I’m not sure how anybody could confuse the two with each other.
Poor guy.
Anyone watching his rapid-fire comedic rants without any clue as to how that was induced is completely and totally naive.
I did. Carradine wasn’t trying to commit suicide with his self-pleasuring dangerous sex act, but it happened. Williams WAS trying to commit suicide because he had the ghastly Lewy Body Dementia (although that wasn’t confirmed until the autopsy - he didn’t know what was destroying him). I don’t even wish to ponder the terrors he was experiencing that led him to make that decision to find a lasting release from it.
Also noteworthy, according to Williams wife, is that he may have learned of the suicide technique from a movie role in which a character Williams portrayed died from autoerotic asphyxiation.
Wrong, according to the linked article that follows this article -- it's at the "Read More" link at the end. The autopsy revealed that the Parkinson's diagnosis had been wrong; he had Lewy body disease, a form of brain degneration.
Cocaine doesn’t magically give you talent you don’t have. He had it, with or without it.
