Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A photograph of Robin Williams taken by Michael Dressler in 1979, later used as a cover photo for Time magazine to highlight Williams.
Author or copyright owner	Michael Dressler
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Time Magazine, March 12, 1979 [1] Immediate source: [2]
Date of publication	March 12, 1979
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Robin Williams
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To illustrate the period in time when Williams rose to fame via his television roles. The photo displays Williams at a specific period of his life that free images cannot capture; it also is an image of discussion within the article.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Williams is deceased, and his appearance in 1979 is unlikely to be met by free content. Other free content of Williams post-2000 exist but his appearance is different. The photo itself is subject of discussion and thus will not easily be replaced by free.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image has been reduced from the full site on the Smithsonia website.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The photograph was sold to Time by Dressler for $50 [3], and does not represent a work-for-sale like press corps images.
