Bonnie Wright attends Robin Williams fundraising screening
British actress Bonnie Wright attended a screening of Dead Poets Society on Friday (15Aug14) to honor Robin Williams and raise funds for charity.
The Good Will Hunting star died this week (begs11Aug14) and the subsequent reports about his mental health and battle with depression have sparked a debate over treatment of the illness.
Organizers of Secret Cinema hosted a screening of the 1989 drama in
London and other U.K. locations to honor the actor on Friday, with
profits from the event going to mental health awareness charity
Mind.
Harry Potter star Wright wore a school uniform and gave a poetry
reading before the screening began.
She later posted a picture online showing an array of candles which
had been lit in the actor's honor, adding, "An emotional evening
@secretcinema, such an honor to be part of it. Robin Williams you
hero!"
Wright urged her fans to donate to Mind via text message, and the
social media campaign had raised $17,000 by Saturday (16Aug14).
