Robin Williams: The Legend Behind The Laughs

Oh dear, Mrs. Doubtfire

In the iconic Mrs. Doubtfire, one of the best scenes is when Mrs. Sellner comes to inspect Daniel’s apartment and he/Mrs. Doubtfire is making her tea in a robe with cake frosting all over her face.

It turns out that the frosting wasn’t supposed to fall off her face and the lighting in the studio was causing it to melt and dropping in the tea. Robin Williams improvised that whole scene, just going with the wardrobe malfunction and having everyone in fits of laughter.
