#9: Robin Williams, 1974

In a serendipitous moment captured by photographer Daniel Sorine in 1974, two mimes perform in New York City’s Central Park, their identities unknown to him then. Decades later, Sorine learned that one of these anonymous performers was none other than Robin Williams, who later ascended from the streets of New York to become a beloved Hollywood icon.

This photograph serves as a testament to Williams’ humble beginnings. It highlights the unpredictable journey that can lead an obscure street performer to worldwide acclaim and adoration in the entertainment world.
