Robin Williams Signed Contract “Mork & Mindy” Merchandising – COA JSA

Presented is Robin Williams contract for the “Mork & Mindy” series with an agreement for the merchandising dated to May 10, 1978. The contract was signed on the fourth page by Williams on the signature line in blue ballpoint  (“9”).

After the Laugh-In revival, and appearing in the cast of The Richard Pryor Show on NBC, Robin Williams was cast by Garry Marshall as the alien Mork in a 1978 episode of the television series Happy Days titled “My Favorite Orkan”.Sought after as a last-minute cast replacement for a departing actor, Williams impressed the producer with his quirky sense of humor when he sat on his head when asked to take a seat for the audition. As Mork, Williams improvised much of his dialogue and physical comedy, speaking in a high, nasal voice, and he made the most of the script. The cast and crew, as well as television network executives, were deeply impressed with Williams’s performance. As such, the executives moved quickly to get the performer on contract just four days later before competitors could make their own offers.
