Caution: It’s about to get heavy.
Robin Williams was found dead in August 2014, over 20 years after Mrs. Doubtfire was released in theaters. Deleted scenes from the family film recently resurfaced, and they’re a doozy: The clips show Williams’ character Daniel Hillard fighting to keep his family together.
The first scene shows Daniel arriving late to Lydia’s (Lisa Jakub) spelling bee, where he and Miranda (Sally Field) eventually cause a scene and break their daughter’s concentration. Daniel and Lydia make up in the next scene, but a third depicts him and Miranda arguing brutally in earshot of the children. “I hate you both,” Lydia declares before storming off, leaving her heartbroken parents at the foot of the stairs. Gulp.
