ROBIN WILLIAMS DEAD
Just ran across this...
Sheriff: Robin Williams found dead in apparent suicide
Such a permanent solution to what is often times a temporary problem. A comedic legend...I remember him in his Mork and Mindy days.
RIP...Nanu...Nanu!!!

I never had the joy of seeing him live, but look up the video of his USO tour to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. To see him that respectful of our customs, and still retain his humor is a tribute to the man underneath the comedy.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems the past week has been a sad one for this Forum.

I don't know what happens to people like Robin Williams, or the lead singer from Boston, or Freddy Prinze, all of whom seemed to have everything in the world going for them and then one day it's as if they flip - and turn themselves off...
It doesn't make any sense.

He was not only an amazing actor; He just had the gift of bringing joy to millions of people via a tv screen.
Myself included, have more enough fond memories of Williams' laugh and wit in movies that I now look back on, as childhood makers (Flubber, Aladdin, etc).
Remember this though; Depression hits all kinds, and all minds.
The ones that are the loudest, happiest and most outspoken, usually have a dark, quiet side to themselves that they don't let others see.

Another hit to the gut.
Robin Williams entertained millions of people.
"What Dreams May Come", "Good Morning Viet Nam", "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Awakenings" (with Robert DeNiro), "Moscow on the Hudson", just to name a few, were fantastic movies and his acting was incredibly good.
Robin Williams once said that he got his energy and drive from Jonathan Winters.
Jonathan Winters said that there's no way for anyone to keep up with Robin Williams.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Williams. You will be missed.

I don't know what drove him to think this was his only answer, but I know what may have saved him.

There's more than a few stories about the man Robin was, quite apart from his public persona. He seemed to have a genuine empathy for disadvantaged peopl such as the double amputee athlete he competed with and maybe more visilble was his involvement with Christopher Reeve after his unfortunate accident.
None of us can ever know what makes another take that final step to suicide and yet we all still wonder how it becomes their best choice.
Indeed R.I.P. Robin----your comedy and talent will be very much missed.
