Robin Williams Dead!

[bobcat]

I hadn't heard how he had died until just now when I read this:

Authorities detailed Robin Williams’ final moments Tuesday, saying the actor and comedian hanged himself with a belt in his San Francisco Bay Area home.

Marin County Sheriff’s Lt. Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife Sunday night when she went to bed. She woke up the next morning and left, thinking he was still asleep.

Shortly after that, Williams’ personal assistant came to the Tiburon home and became concerned when Williams failed to respond to knocks at a door. The assistant found the 63-year-old actor dead in a bedroom and called police.

I guess that's why he didn't shoot himself!

I'm not surprised. I met him while hiking one time. He was just as pshyco in person as he was on TV. Too bad too. He had some real talent. Sad to see a person reach levels so low that they end their own lives.

So So Sad!  Started out on Happy Days, as the Fonz's imaginary friend, "Mork."  Then "Mork from Ork," "Mork and Mindy" and so so many more.  One of my all time favorite actors and one of the best of all times!

When cable tv was making the scene, Robin had a couple of specials on HBO way before Happy Days and Mork and Mindy. very early 80's.

May want to date check..... Mork and Mindy premiered  in about  '77........

Don't let this devolve into a religious debate thread folks, it's about Robin Williams - whom I'm going to miss seeing his work.


Instead of bickering about grammar and God, how about posting some highlights off youtube.

Ironic, Robin did one of the most powerful films against suicide ever done.

Hmmm....never did see that one.  May have to look for that one of these days. 

I liked Good Will Hunting.

What was that one where he played a kid that grew up fast and looked like an adult but still had the mind of a kid?  Its been a long time since I watched that one; he did some great acting in that as well.
