Hollywood remembers Robin Williams

In Boston magazine's oral history of the film last year, Damon and Affleck credited Williams for getting the film made. According to the lifelong friends, Harvey Weinstein green-lit the film after Williams signed on. "I think he was buoyed by [Damon getting cast in The Rainmaker]," Affleck said, "but Robin really was the rainmaker."
