Their chemistry on-screen was so effortless, so genuine, that fans often assumed their bond must have been just as magical off-camera.

And now, decades later, Field is finally peeling back the curtain on what it was really like working with the late comedy icon.

In a recent sit-down interview, Field described Williams as “exhausting in the most beautiful way,” recalling how he never turned off his comedic engine, even between takes.

“He was like a fire that wouldn’t go out,” she said.

“You’d walk on set at 6 a. m., and he was already doing 12 different voices, cracking everyone up, and making the crew forget how early it was.

But behind the rapid-fire jokes and wild impressions, Field saw something else—a man who was hiding deep pain behind the laughter.

“Robin made everyone happy, but you could feel the weight he was carrying,” she confessed.

“Sometimes, when the cameras stopped rolling, he’d just go quiet.

Not in a moody way—more like he’d burned all his energy trying to keep everyone else uplifted.

Field said that filming Mrs.

Doubtfire was one of the most chaotic and rewarding experiences of her career—chaotic because Robin improvised endlessly, often changing lines mid-scene, forcing everyone (including her) to stay on their toes.

“It was impossible to plan a scene,” she laughed.

“He’d throw you a curveball every time.

One minute I’m yelling at him, the next I’m trying not to break character because he’s ad-libbing in a Scottish accent I’ve never heard before.

Despite the creative unpredictability, Field never saw it as unprofessional—in fact, she viewed it as a sign of his brilliance.

“He was a storm.

Beautiful, unpredictable, and filled with color.

You just had to hold on and ride through it.

But the most revealing moment came when Field described how Williams would retreat between takes.

“Robin wasn’t this 24/7 clown.

He’d give so much of himself during the scene, then sit down and just stare out.

Sometimes you could see a sadness in him.

I think laughter was his oxygen, but also his armor.

She spoke softly about the pain of losing him, calling his death in 2014 “a hole that never really closes.

” She admitted she regrets not reaching out more often, especially in the final years when Williams was battling depression and early signs of Lewy body dementia.

“We all adored him.

But sometimes we assume that the brightest ones are fine, because they’re the ones making us laugh.

We forget to ask how they’re really doing.

Her words have sparked an emotional reaction across social media, with fans praising Field’s honesty and paying renewed tribute to Williams’ legacy—not just as a comedian, but as a complicated, sensitive soul who carried the world’s laughter while quietly battling his own storms.

As more co-stars and friends reflect on Williams’ life and legacy, Sally Field’s recollections stand out for their tenderness and raw insight.
