You're right, Mary. The sadness was often there.

I agree, Mary. I was going to speak to this last night but thought I'd let it go as I pretty well covered it in my first post here. Do a google images search if you like, folks, take a close look at the man. Part of what people find difficult to accept here, I think, is that it was right there, in front of everyone's eyes, and Robin knew it.
Like I said earlier, though, the only one who could be there 24/7/365 was himself, and he feared that, too, I think, because he knew there could be a great danger in it. |

As I stated I was not shocked in the least.

Comedy and tragedy are often two sides of the same coin.

One of the other patrons mentioned that Robin Williams had committed suicide this week; it was the first we'd heard of it, of course. I'm with Danny: saddened, but not altogether surprised. Three members of my immediate family suffer from mild to sever depression, so I have some experience in that arena. I'm with you, Lobo: great role in a good movie. I love it when Derek Jacobi reverts to Claudius. |

I thought he was fabulous in Dead Poets Society. But, my favorite of his movies is Bicentennial Man. Made me laugh and made me cry.

I liked "Death to Smoochy" and "The Bird Cage." I think that film is one of the few American remakes of a European film where they improved on the original. Didn't finish "Bicentennial Man," wasn't offended by it or anything, I just had to leave and never got another chance to watch it. I wonder how Isaac would have felt about it.

I believe we ALL get sad talking about friends passing and our weaknesses, I just never saw the sadness that was more than that from watching Robin through the years. But it could just be me...

Well, O'Reilly showed some class. Not a big fan of his so I can't say if that's precedent setting or not. The reason -I- brought up "Fox News" is that, supposedly, Limbaugh is reading from a Fox News report. Which is doubly weaselly on his part since it lets him say all manner of terrible things and then back off on responsibility for them claiming; "Oh no! -I- didn't come up with those things. -I- was just reading from a report!"
Incidently (sp) Limbaugh/Fox News's contention that Robin was depressed because he "had to go back to television" is totally bunk as given by the fact that he has THREE movies coming out. Robin wasn't in television because his movie career was failing, he himself had said he took up a series because it was a "steady paycheck" and he needed alimony money.

Gold-diggers are actually what killed him.
