Jessica Chastain Spotted at Robin Williams Center Opening in New York

NEW YORK, September 3, 2025 - Academy Award-winning actress Jessica Chastain was seen this morning at the grand opening of the Robin Williams Center in Manhattan, marking her first public appearance since wrapping the Apple TV+ thriller The Savant.

Witnesses report Chastain arriving at the venue on West 63rd Street just after 11:00 AM, where she joined mental health advocates, local dignitaries, and members of Williams’s family for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The new center, named in honor of the late comedian and philanthropist, aims to provide free counseling services and creative therapy programs to underserved communities across New York City.

Photos shared on social media show Chastain, dressed in a tailored cream blazer and navy trousers, greeting guests and pausing for several group photos with attendees. The event’s organizers praised her “gentle spirit and commitment to giving back”-qualities they said closely reflect Williams’s legacy.

Following this morning’s ceremony, Chastain is expected to return to Los Angeles to begin preproduction on her next feature, a biopic chronicling the life of pioneering anthropologist Margaret Mead.
