According to one biography, Robin Williams decided to test out the believability of his Mrs. Doubtfire character during filming by going as Mrs. Doubtfire into an adult bookstore and making a purchase. He was able to do so without being recognized.
During the scene when Mrs. Sellner comes to inspect Daniel's apartment and Daniel/Mrs. Doubtfire is serving her tea, the icing on his/her face is melting off. This was not intentional. The heat from the set lights melted the icing on his face and Robin Williams improvised the bulk of that scene.
Chris Columbus would use two or three cameras at a time when shooting Robin Williams' scenes, uncertain of what the famously improvisational actor would come up with. Columbus viewed shooting these scenes as if he were making a documentary.
Chris Columbus was amazed how far Robin Williams took his performance. First, he played each scene as scripted two to three times, and then was allowed to improvise, or "playing" as Williams called it. Columbus allowed Williams a lot of improvisation, because that was where the film's funniest material came from; in fact, Columbus called it magical at times.
According to director Chris Columbus, Robin Williams improvised so much that there were PG, PG-13, and R edits of the film (though always intended to be released as PG-13).
"Miranda: What happened? Mrs. Doubtfire: He was quite fond of the drink. It was the drink that killed him. Miranda: How awful. He was an alcoholic? Mrs. Doubtfire: No, he was hit by a Guinness truck. So it was quite literally the drink that killed him."
"Mrs. Sellner: Oh, by the way. Do you have any special skills? Daniel: Oh, yes, I do. I do voices. Mrs. Sellner: What do you mean, you do voices? Daniel: [German accent] Well, I do voices. Daniel: [as evangelist] Yes! Daniel: [as martian] We've come to this planet looking for intelligent life. Oops, we made a mistake. Daniel: [as Russian immigrant] Happy to be in America. Don't ask for a green card. Daniel: [as monster] I want you in the worst way. Daniel: [as Groucho Marx] Well this is certainly a rough meeting and it's not going very well for me, I'll tell you that. [as Chico Marx] Daniel: Hey boss, give her a chance. She's gonna loosen up any moment. Daniel: [as Sean Connery] Look at me right now, Moneypenny, I want to undo that bow and get to know you. Daniel: [as a used-car salesman] I'll be crazy to make a deal with you! Daniel: [as Ronald Reagan] Nancy and I are still looking for the other half of my head. Daniel: [as Walter Brennan] This is it! Yes, I'm doing it! I'm sitting on a gold mine! Daniel: [as Humphrey Bogart] Don't make me smack you, sweetheart. I'll do it. Daniel: [normal voice] I do a great impression of a hot dog. [leans back straight, trying to keep a straight face] Mrs. Sellner: Mr. Hillard, do you consider yourself humorous? Daniel: I used to. There was a time when I found myself funny, but today you have proven me wrong. Thank you."
