E.G. Daily, a famous voice actress who starred in Happy Feet and its sequel, has fond memories of her moments with Robin Williams. Previously, she had been involved with the first Happy Feet movie, but it wasn’t until 2011 when they were creating this second movie that she truly met him more.

Daily spent a lot of time with all the other actors while creating Happy Feet Two. The first film was made in Los Angeles, unlike the sequel, which was done in Australia. This allowed them to develop closer relationships amongst themselves.

For Daily, the experience was “beautiful.” They shot at one giant sound stage, and the cast, which included Elijah Wood and Robin Williams, all worked closely together. They stayed for about four weeks, when they would often go out after work to comedy clubs or dinners, enhancing their bond even more.

Notably, such a man as Williams hired a yacht specifically for all his colleagues. These yachting days turned into unforgettable reminiscences beyond what they did while shooting movies together. According to Daily, such off-set interaction was what really brought the cast members close.

Robin Williams was particularly influential to E.G. Daily, who is an old-timer in show business. In her words, he is described as a “genius, creative, brilliant man.” without doubt privileged enough to see him operate within his sphere of competence. In fact, William’s talent went way beyond skills but touched on pleasure and fun that he carried along whenever undertaking any project; hence, many people can identify with him today, among them those close to him.

Regarding kindness as part of his legacy, it lasted beyond Robin Williams’ career performance and industry stage appearances. People who got to know him well often recount tales demonstrating this virtue within him. Nathan Lane, who played alongside Williams in The Birdcage, gave an example once when describing how the latter helped him through a really tough interview for The Oprah Winfrey Show.

During this period, Lane was not brave enough to publicly announce his sexual preference. Consequently, Williams tried to divert their conversation and make sure that Lane did not have to come out of the closet on national television.

Nonetheless, Lisa Jakub, who played Lydia in Mrs. Doubtfire, shared how Williams had tried to get her back into school after she was expelled from it. Her expulsion from school still stood despite all his efforts, but Jakub appreciated what he did so much.

In memory of Robin Williams, it is his kindness and talent that people often talk about. It has been hard for anyone who ever interacted with him, be it in film or real-life settings, to forget about his ability to create connections with those around him. For E.G. Daily, among others, these are some of their best moments together with Robin Williams, which they always recall as unforgettable times in their lives.
