Robin William’s last ever on-screen line still breaks hearts

“I was called in to sit down to go over the coroner’s report. They sat me and down and said he essentially Robin died of diffused Lewy body dementia. They started to talk about the neurodegeneration. He wasn’t in his right mind,” Schneider Williams recalled.

“Lewy body dementia is a devastating illness. It’s a killer. It is fast, it’s progressive,” said Dr. Bruce Miller, director of Memory and Aging at the University of California, San Francisco, told Today. “This was about as devastating a form of Lewy body dementia as I had ever seen. It really amazed me that Robin could walk or move at all.”

Robin Williams’ last ever on-screen words branded “hauntingly beautiful”

Robin Williams appeared in many incredible films and played some of the most memorable characters ever. One of his final performances was as Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, in which his last line of the film was, “Smile my boy, it’s sunrise.”

While it has been argued to be his last-ever performance, that’s not entirely true. His last live-action film was the drama titled Boulevard, released a year after his passing, in which he delivered his last-ever onscreen line. Today, it hits a lot different. As reported by Parade, fans are calling them “hauntingly beautiful.”

“I drove down a street one night. A street I didn’t know. It’s the way your life goes sometimes. I’ll drive down this one and another. And now, another,” Robin Williams said.
