In "Mrs. Doubtfire," comedian Robin Williams plays Daniel, an out-of-work voice actor who transforms himself into a 60-year-old British nanny to spend time with his kids after his wife files for divorce. While Daniel gets his brother to create his nanny costume, the actual makeup process took 4.5 hours to put on. But it was all worth it -- the film won an Academy Award for Best Costume. Fun fact: the prosthetic mask Robin Williams wore and then dropped into the street was actually a prop. The real makeup Williams wore was composed of eight separate pieces.
Directed by Chris Columbus. With Robin Williams, Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein. After a bitter divorce, an actor disguises himself as a female housekeeper to spend time with his children held in custody by his former wife.
Two scenes didn't find their way into family comedy Mrs. Doubtfire because they were too heartbreaking for families. The film, starred Robin Williams - who died three years ago today (11 August) - as Daniel Hillard, a divorced actor who disguises himself as the titular housekeeper in order to spend time with his children in custody of his ex-wife (Sally Field).
