Dave Itzkoff
The New York Times
Dave Itzkoff, New York Times culture reporter and bestselling author of the definitive biography of Robin Williams – shares compelling portrait of one of America’s most beloved and misunderstood entertainers.
From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy and his Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. Dave Itzkoff shares a fresh and original look of the beloved comic and how Williams’s comic brilliance masked a deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt, which he drew upon in his comedy and in celebrated films roles that revealed the true range of his talent.
