Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams), an out-of-work voiceover actor, is a man who will do anything to be with his three children. Unfortunately, the things that his kids love about him -- his wild sense of humor, his carefree view of life -- are the traits which prevent him from being the husband his wife Miranda (Sally Field) needs him to be. After fourteen years of marriage she has asked for a divorce and has been granted temporary custody of the children, in spite of Daniel's emotional protests.
Unwilling to accept the role of weekend father, possessed with only an inventive imagination, an actor's flair and the determination to go to any length necessary to hang onto his kids, Daniel is going to have to become a whole new man -- in a very unlikely fashion.
Twentieth Century Fx Presents a Blue Wolf Production of a Chris Columbis Film, "Mrs. Doubtfire," starring Robin Williams and Sally Field. It is directed by Chris Columbus from a screenplay by Randi Mayem Singer and Leslie Dixon, based upon "Alias Madam Doubtfire" by Anne Fine. Marsha Garces Williams, Robin Williams and Mark Radcliffe are producing; Matthew Rushton serves as executive producer. The co-producer is Joan Bradshaw. The film also stars Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein and Robert Prosky. The film's soundtrack is available on Fox Records.
"Mrs. Doubtfire," which finds Robin Williams adding a sixty-year-old British woman to his galery of brilliant comic portrayals, is the debut fim for Blue Wolf Productions, the company run by Robin Williams and Marsha Garces Williams. This story of a man who poses as his estranged wife's housekeeper in order to be near his children struck a chord in the couple that went beyond the initial hook of its comic, cross-dressing premise.
"Marsha and I thought it was an interesting way of looking at how children are dealt with in divorces," explains Robin Williams about choosing "Mrs. Doubfire" as Blue Wolf's first production. "A lot of times children are little hostages being passed back and forth and this film uses comedy and the character to look at that. That's the whole reason I wanted to do it."
"I liked the grain of the idea when I read the book several years ago," adds Marsha Garces Williams. "For a father to be so desperate to see his children that he'd go to such great lengths appealed to me. I loved the character's range. He's a man who is angry, sad, jealous, funny and warm at the same time."
The challenge of portraying the lead character in "Mrs. Doubtfire" was very appealing to Robin Williams. "It's wonderful to get to play a person inside of a person," he admits. "It's almost like possession, like the old Mardi Gras masks -- you know there's a someone inside there. It's two different worlds at once. There's fun in that, but sadness, too. Daniel hears things that he couldn't hear as himself."
Director Chris Columbus follows the historic successes of "Home Alone" and "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" with "Mrs. Doubtfire."
"I wanted to make this film because of two things," Columbus says. "First of all, it's rare to find a comedy script with an original premise that works this well, and on top of that there was the opportunity to work with Robin, who I think is a genius, It's also a chance to move slightly away from the type of comedies I've been doing and try a more sophisticated adult comedy.
"The point of this movie is that as ling as there's love, there's a family," continues the director. "If there are people who love each other and are a unit, there's a family, whether it's a single mother with kids, or a single father with kids, or a traditional two-parent situation. We also wanted this to be a realistic picture, in that in 99 percent of divorces, kids don't see their parents get back together. In most cases, parents stay divorced and move on with their lives, and kids have to come to terms with that."
"If Daniel has a flaw," Robin Williams observes, "it's that he would let his kids do anything, and he'll do anything with them. He has no real boundaries. He doesn't discipline as much as just explore life with them. He can't take it when he's denied access to them. He says he's addicted to them and that the idea of not being around them is like saying he can't breathe. He has to take an extreme measure."

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
"We all wanted Mrs. Doubtfire to be someone who would be the perfect grandmother," explains Columbus. "We looked through hundreds and hundreds of photographs until we found a portrait of an older English woman. She had an incredibly sweet face, pretty, prim, very popular and extremely warm. It became the key to Mrs. Doubtfire's look. But what makes Mrs. Doubtfire such a colorful character is that inside of her is Robin's energy."
The elaborate process to transform Robin Williams into Mrs. Doubtfire began with the makeup that was specially designed by Greg Cannom, Academy-Award winnner for "Dracula." Four-and-one-half hours were required for makeup artist Ve Neill (Academy Award-winner for "Beetlejuice," Academy Award nominations for "Edward Scissorhands," "Batman," "Batman Returns") to apply the complicated series of latex pieces to Robin Williams' face and then paint the surface to simulate accurate skin tone. After the wig was secured by hairstylist Yolanda Toussieng ("Batman Returns," "Edward Scissorhands"), Williams would put on a body suit that changes his shape to that of a pudgy, older woman. Finally, the carefully fitted wardrobe designed by Marit Allen ("The Secret Garden," "Shining Through") completed his transformation into Mrs. Doutfire.
"High heels are the most sinister invention of the last two centuries!" jokes Robin Williams when reminiscing on the many long days as Mrs. Doubtfire. "I mean, what they do to your spine alone, even if they do make your legs look great!"
Portraying an older woman had many more serious resonances for the actor. "I got to be this sweet, warm, loveable woman with a very nuturing side in a world that sometimes doesn't tolerate old age very well."
Even his youngest son was fooled, until "I spoke as myself to him," recalls Wiliams, "but he's also seen me as a bat, a genie, all sorts of different things, so it was like 'Oh, great, Dad's an old lady now, add it to the list!'"
For Marsha Williams, the experience of seeing her husband as the character of Mrs. Doubtfire was a strange sensation. "It was hard for me to believe that it was him under that face and that body. He was instilled with the spirit of a sixty-year-old woman."
Sally Field was the only actress that director Chris Columbus envisioned as Miranda. "When I was working on the script I found that I was thinking of her. Casting Sally was my objective from day one," remembers Columbus. "She's the kind of actress who adds depth and density to a character without pushing it too far in one direction. It's important to me that Miranda and Daniel are completely real people. Sally helps get that point across."
"Sally's a presence, even in scenes where she had little to say," explains Robin Williams. "She does all this preparation for each scene, whether it's powerful or devestating or sweet or simple."
Field shares a mutual admiration for her co-star. "It was like having two co-stars. You sort of forget that Mrs. Doubtfire is Robin and you think it's this other person. And when he's Daniel, it's just so much fun. You really just have to stay alive and watch him take flight and try to go where he goes. You never get bored!"
Chris Columbus' expectations of working with Robin Williams wree more than met. "I think James Brown will finally lose his title as the 'Hardest Working Man in Show Buisness' to Robin," enthuses the director. "Robin just gives and gives and gives 'till there's nothing else to give. He puts on an amazing performance every day and when he's not in front of the cameras, he's entertaining the crew. It's almost as if he's possessed by the Holy Ghost of Comedy. It's an honor to be working with him."
"Chris has seen so many films that he has an incredible kind of bibliography of movies in the back of his mind," says Robin Williams. "The fact that he's in this thirties -- he looks so young you want to see his ID -- and he knows so much is extraordinary. He has a great sense of humor, story, character and comedy."
"Chris is very confident, smart and a wonderful director," adds Marsha Williams. "These qualities allow him to sift through all the ideas Robin has without being threatened by them. Chris picks what works the best because he knows what he needs. They've had a great working relationship because Chris knows when he's gotten enough. Which is terrific because Robin could go on forever if you let him!"
"People think of Chris in terms of comedy, yet he brings such a warmth to this project," says producer Mark Radcliffe, who has worked with Columbus on four of his previous films. "'Mrs. Doubtfire' is a perfect project for Chris in that it's a dramatic story that builds comedy from the circumstances.
"Combining drama and comedy can get tricky, but Chris has such a solid sense of structuring a movie, he handles the transitions perfectly."
Joining Robin Williams and Sally Field in "Mrs Doubtfire" are Pierce Brosnan as Stu, a former boyfriend and current client of Miranda's; Harvey Fierstein as Daniel's brother Frank, a makeup artist who helps him create Mrs. Doubtfire's look, and Robert Prosky as Mr. Lundy, the boss who recognizes Daniel's true talent.
Finding actors to play the Hillard's three children was challenging, but few directors have the experience working with youngsters that Chris Columbus has. "I was looking for real kids to convey a sense of pain and trouble and confusion about divorce," says the director. "These kids are all very naturalistic in their approach to acting and their performances are believable."
Lisa jakub plays Lydia, the Hillard's oldest child. Jakub most recently starred in "Matinee" as a free-thinking teenager who thinks her life is over. Matthew Lawrence is Chris, the middle child and only son. Lawrence recently starred in the NBC series "Walter and Emily," as the grandson of Cloris Leachman and Brian Keith. Mara Wilson makes her film debut as five-year-old Natalie.
"Mrs Doubtfire" was shot entirely in San Francisco and the Bay area. Locations used in the film included such neighborhoods as Pacific Heights and North Beach, an office building on The Embarcadero offering spectacular downtown and Bay views from its penthouse suite, scenic Crissy Field near the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Hyde Street cable car. East Bay locations included the Claremont Hotel, KTVU-2 Studios and Bridges, a well-known are restaurant.
The production also filmed in a 100,000 square foot building in Richmond, a former candy warehouse, where five large sets were built.
The director of photography on "Mrs. Doubtfire" is Donald McAlpine, A.S.C. ("Parenthood"), the production designer is Angelo Graham (an Oscar-winner for "The Godfather, Part II"), the film is edited by Raja Gosnell ("Home Alone 2: Lost in New York") and the music is by Howard Shore ("Silence of the Lambs"). Adding his expertise to "Mrs. Doubtfire" is legendary animation genius Chuck Jones, who supplied an original cartoon for the scenes in which Daniel performs his voiceover duties.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS...
