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.
