Robin Williams' legacy celebrated by Mariska Hargitay and family

Mariska Hargitay has shared reflections on working with the late Robin Williams during his 2008 appearance on the 200th episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Hargitay described Williams as a “light” and “magnetic” presence on set, noting that his performance as Merritt Rook was both “electric” and “truthful.” She recalled his generosity toward her family, specifically mentioning how he interacted kindly with her son.

In light of what would have been his 75th year, Williams' children—Zak, Zelda, and Cody Williams—announced they are reviving his Instagram account. The move aims to preserve his legacy and allow new generations to discover his work while celebrating the joy he provided to longtime fans.
