Am i the only one...


who is convinced that Rod Taylor is/was the father of Robin Williams? He married a woman whose name was Peggy Williams, the same year Robin was born. Come on! The resemblance is uncanny and he even talks like Robin, if you listen close enough. How is this not a reality?

You're the only one.

Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.

Yep!^

I said to my parents about 10 years ago that Robin looks so much like Rod Taylor. I always thought that

reply

Thank-you.

It's that prominent chin. Rod is a way better actor though.

reply

It isn't only the chin!

reply

young Rod Taylor looks a lot like young Mel Gibson to me

reply

Yes, totally!! I am watching it now and can't get over the resemblance! How can they not be related!!

reply

It is interesting that apparently many people notice this. I was watching The Birds the other night and it struck me like a ton of bricks. Then I noticed how much the voice, and most interesting, the peculiar pronunciation of words and even the rhythm of the speech is at times identical I do not believe that is a coincidence.

I saw Robin Williams' mother on a morning talk show back in the late 1970s. As I recall, her name was Laurie, and you could plainly see the two were closely related. I had no doubt that she was his mother.

I first saw Rod Taylor on "The Twilight Zone," and couldn't help thinking of Robin Williams.

reply

His mother, Laurie McLaurin, was a former model from Jackson, Mississippi
