Robin in Paradise
Word finally came on Monday, July 3, 2006 that we’d be able to spend a day on set with actor Robin Williams at the exclusive boutique hotel Royal Plantation, Ocho Rios, managed at that time by Jaime Stewart.
Williams, Mandy Moore, Eric Christian Olsen and Christine Taylor were already on location when we arrived at the property in the early hours of the morning.
Our day was spent watching scene after scene – incredible to wrap our heads today around the fact that these were pre-selfie days. Page 2 was definitely on the scene and even though access to Williams was restricted we scored big time. Eight years later, thanks to our beloved photographer Garfield Robinson we share exclusive footage from License to Wed.
RIP, Robin Williams.
