Film star and comedy legend Robin Williams allegedly groped his co-star in TV show Mork and Mindy.

Pam Dawber, who played Mindy during the series which ran from 1978 to 1982, says the star would grab her breasts and bottom and also took all of his clothes off when the show was being filmed. 

Dawber, now 66, has said however that "I never took offence. I mean I was flashed, humped, bumped, grabbed. I think he probably did it to a lot of people … but it was so much fun.”

The revelations come from a new biography of Williams entitled Robin by New York Times journalist Dave Itzkoff to be published in the UK in June, and reported in the Mail.

Quoted in the Daily Mail Dawber said 'Somehow he had that magic. If you put it on paper you would be appalled. But somehow he had this guileless little thing that he would do - those sparkly eyes. He'd look at you, really playful, like a puppy, all of a sudden. And then he'd grab your t*ts and then run away. And somehow he could get away with it. It was the Seventies, after all'.
