How Long It Took Robin Williams To Transform Into Mrs. Doubtfire (Wasn’t Just A Fat Suit)

It wasn’t just a fat suit and Robin William’s iconic comedic charm that brought the caricature of Mrs. Doubtfire alive, for it also took a long, laborious process of prosthetic and cosmetic work to get the character’s image just right. Williams starred in the early ’90s hit comedy centered around a down-on-his-luck voice actor named Daniel as he struggles through divorce and losing custody of his children. In fear that he may never see his kids again, Daniel makes a last-ditch effort to spend time with his family by posing as an elderly British nanny and answering the classified ad his ex-wife released for help around the house.
