Overview
- Diane Lane shared memories of Robin Williams in an Entertainment Tonight video filmed at the 2025 Newport Beach Film Festival Honors, where she received the ICON Award.
- She praised Williams as “more than a breath of fresh air” and said he “set the bar so high in terms of good energy.”
- Lane revealed she treasures a signed collection of Shakespeare’s works that Williams gave her as a wrap gift from their 1996 film Jack.
- In Jack, Williams played a boy who ages four times faster than normal and Lane portrayed his mother; the film drew poor reviews on release, though director Luca Guadagnino later praised it as one of Coppola’s overlooked achievements.
- Multiple outlets have picked up Lane’s remarks, with some reports also noting Zelda Williams’ recent request that fans stop sending AI-generated videos of her late father.
