Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Williams's daughter in the sitcom The Crazy Ones, posted a loving tribute on her Instagram. The picture shows a bench seen in Good Will Hunting, captioned with a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote:
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.”
She added, “You succeeded RW.”
