‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ star Lisa Jakub reveals how Robin William helped her battle anxiety, depression

The former child star now teaches workshops on mental wellness

In a recent interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, Jakub detailed how Williams stood up for her when her high school told her not to come back because they weren’t equipped for remote learning while she worked on set. Jakub said Williams wrote a letter asking the school to reconsider their decision and vouched for her work ethic. "It’s just the fact that he would do that for someone, that he would go out of his way," Jakub told the outlet. Jakub was ultimately kicked out of the school. However, she never forgot what Williams did for her. Jakub admitted she doesn’t know if Williams ever knew how much his actions meant to her.
