Charlie Rose Remembers Robin Williams

Late actor was one of many topics covered during a recent Chautauqua Institution chat with Time editor Nancy Gibbs.

In a recent piece for our sister publication The Hollywood Reporter, Benjamin Svetkey provided the most complete account yet of the epic, days-long acting workshop conducted in 2001 by Marlon Brando.

A number of celebrities attended, including Robin Williams, and during a June 29 event at the Chautauqua Institution in Western New York for which Time editor Nancy Gibbs interviewed Charlie Rose, a clip from Rose’s December 2009 PBS interview with Williams was played. In the clip, the actor recalls the acting workshop and Brando telling him: “You know, if I ever did a movie with you, it’d be really hard, because I’d be laughing all the time.”
