Field described a day on set when she received devastating news: her father had passed away after suffering a stroke.
Despite her grief, Field tried to continue working, but Williams immediately sensed something was wrong. He gently pulled her aside, asked if she was okay, and upon learning of her loss, insisted that she be allowed to leave the set.
Sally recounted the story to Vanity Fair as follows:
"Robin came over, pulled me out of the set, and asked, 'Are you okay?'"
Sally: "Yes, why?"
Robin: "I don't know, just thought [I'd ask] that."
Sally: "No, I'm not, Robin. My father just passed."
Robin: "Oh my God, we need to get you out here right now."
Thanks to Williams' insistence, Field was able to return home, contact her brother, and make arrangements for her father. Reflecting on that moment, she noted, "It's a side of Robin that people rarely knew: He was very sensitive and intuitive."
Robin passed away on August 11, 2014.
