Glenn Close believes Robin Williams would still be alive if «Superman» star Christopher Reeve hadn’t died in 2004. The «Mrs. Doubtfire» star died by suicide in 2014.
Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams’ friendship could have been enough to save the comedian, according to a close Hollywood friend.
«Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,» which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, shared the actor’s legacy 20 years after his death and featured interviews with many who called him a friend.
«I always felt that if Chris was still around, Robin would still be alive,» actress Glenn Close said in the film, via The Guardian.
Reeve died in 2004 after a cardiac arrest at the age of 52. He had been confined to a wheelchair after a horseback riding accident left him paralyzed nine years before his death. Williams and Reeve roomed together while attending New York’s Juilliard School before they both rose to fame.
