Marsha Garces Williams is one of two ex-wives of late actor Robin Williams.

Robin Williams, 63, passed away on Monday, August 11, 2014, after apparently hanging himself with a belt.
Marsha Garces and Robin Williams were married in 1989 and divorced in 2008.
Robin Williams was previously married to Valerie Velardi. They met in 1976 when he worked as a bartender at a tavern in San Francisco. They have a son together, Zachary Pym “Zak” Williams, who was born on April 11, 1983.
Marsha Garces met Robin Williams when she was working as a nanny for Zak.

The Filipino-American helped Robin Williams with his work, even being nominated for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special for Robin Williams: Live on Broadway along with others in 2003, according to IMDB.
Marsha Garces, who was born on June 18, 1956 in San Francisco, is also credited as a producer on Jakob the Liar and Mrs. Doubtfire and executive producer on Patch Adams.

She also served as assistant to Robin Williams on Toys, Hook, The Fisher King, Dead Poets Society, and Good Morning, Vietnam.
According to People magazine, their divorce stemmed from Robin Williams’ alcohol relapse in 2006 after 20 years of sobriety.
However, longtime Robin Williams’ friend Richard Belzer clarified that the split was “amicable” as opposed to “a vicious, bitter thing”.
Robin Williams appreciated Marsha’s support, telling People magazine before that “she’s amazing” and “makes it look effortless”.
He also had good memories of Marsha’s family, telling the Philippine Inquirer several years ago that he picked up a Pinoy accent, and remembered Marsha’s father fondly.
Robin Williams also said that the children he had with Marsha – Zelda and Cody – kept in touch with their Filipino side of the family.
“Very much so, because of Marsha,” he said.
“My ex-father-in-law, Leon, was amazing. They keep up with the Filipino part of my family.”
