Robin Williams wrote letter to principal who kicked ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ child star out of school during filming

'Mrs. Doubtfire' star Lisa Jakub says Robin Williams wrote a letter to the principal who kicked her out of school over complications with her on-set education during filming.

"I took a statistics class," Jakub recalled, "and when I got [a grade] back, the TA had written: 'Dear Doubtfire Girl, you got a B-.'" Jakub, Lawrence, and Wilson played a trio of siblings in the Chris Columbus –directed classic, which followed Williams as their father who, amid a bitter divorce, hatches a scheme to see them every day by dressing up as an elderly British woman and taking a job as their nanny. In addition to being one of Williams' signature films, Mrs. Doubtfire earned $441 million at the worldwide box office before winning an Oscar for Best Makeup at the 1994 Academy Awards.
