Williams died on August 11, 2014. According to CNN, Williams died of suicide and also had Lewy body dementia, but was misdiagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Williams “had been experiencing severe memory, movement, personality, reasoning, sleep, and mood changes,” CNN reported.
The Video Shows a Scene in Which Jennifer Lopez Plays a Teacher
The video shows Williams’ character walking into a classroom. Lopez then says “C’mon it’s okay. Welcome to our class. I’m glad you’re here.” She then introduces “Jack Powell” to the class. She tells the class to say hi to Williams’ character. “All right, I know some of you must be curious about Jack,” she says, urging the students to ask him questions.
When the class doesn’t answer, Lopez asks him questions instead, including when his birthday is and what kind of food he hates. The kids slowly start to engage positively. “Well, it looks like you have more in common than you think,” she tells the class.
The clip is from the movie “Jack.”
“Because of an unusual disorder that has aged him four times faster than a typical human being, a boy looks like a 40-year-old man as he starts fifth grade at public school after being homeschooled,” the movie is described on IMDb.
Lopez played “Miss Marquez” in the movie, according to IMDb.
