What is Robin Williams: A Biography about?

<p>Named the Funniest Person Alive by <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> in 1997, Robin Williams is one of the most popular screen actors today. This biography provides a detailed look at the comedian's life and career, from his poor-little-rich-kid childhood to his first big break to his battle with substance abuse to his recent successes.</p> <p>Brought up as the only child of a wealthy Ford Motor Company executive, Williams had everything but affection, a lack that author Andy Dougan sees as the reason for the actor's steady stream of man-child roles in such movies as <i>Seize the Day</i>, <i>Jack</i>, <i>Jumanji</i>, and <i>The Best of Times</i>. It can be aruged that his first major character (as Mork on the TV show <i>Mork and Mindy</i>) fits in this category as well. The show made Williams, at 28, one of the most famous people in the world -- a fame he found hard to handle and from which he sought refuge in alcohol, cocaine, and womanizing.</p> <p>Dougan had access to LAPD files to pierce together what happened on the night John Belushi died -- an event at which Williams was present and which helped inspire him to give up drugs and rebuild his life. Although it was too late for him
