Jessica Chastain expresses regret over not thanking Robin Williams for career
Jessica Chastain has revealed that she feels regretful over missing out on the chance to thank Robin Williams for her career success.The Oscar-winning actor opened up about her upbringing and entry into the arts thanks to help of a scholarship, paid for by the late actor.Speaking on The View, Chastain reflected on being raised by a single mother through financial difficulties, before going on to become the first in her family to get a college diploma with Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting from Manhattan’s Juilliard School.“I received the Robin Williams Scholarship,” she shared. “It was a beautiful thing, because every two years it would be given to a student and it paid for all of my schooling, it paid for my housing, it paid for me to be able to go home for Christmas and see my family”.She added that the “generous” grant also covered books and food.
