Robin Williams to Care for Reeve's son

Oscar-winner Robin Williams insists he will take care of the orphaned son of Christopher and Dana Reeve, after the teenager's mother died of lung cancer last week.

Williams was always close to the 'Superman' star, who passed away in October 2004, as they had studied acting together at the Juilliard school of drama in New York City.

And after Reeve suffered the riding accident which left him paralyzed from the neck down in 1995, the Goodwill Hunting star was quick to assure the family he would never desert them - and he is standing by his vow to care for 13-year-old Will.

A relative of Dana's says, "He has already been making good on a promise he made to Chris in 1995."

"They were closer than brothers and Robin swore then and there that he would look after Dana and Will after Chris was gone."

"Both of them knew Chris might not last long but neither of them could possibly have imagined the tragedy that would befall Dana so soon after Chris's own death."

Re: Robin Williams to Care for Reeve's son

Does this mean Williams will be his legal guardian?

"taking care of" can mean a lot of different things....

what an amazing thing he is doing.
Did the Reeves have a will? Did they already named RW as the guardian of their son?

I would assume so. Since he is a minor, I am sure that ACS has been contacted and they need to place him in a home (preferablyt with friend or family) until they can find someone to be a foster parent or to adopt him (which is hopefully that friend or family). At least that is how they do it in NY.

Provisions had been made for him to stay in his home-his mom took care of that before she died.

That's good for him. One less change he needs to deal with. Poor kid.

I would think that because she new she might pass away she would have had everything in her will for the care of her son.

That is wonderful of Robin Williams.Chat Icon
