Did you know that Robin William's great great grandfather was this guy? (vanity)

Anselm J. McLaurin (1848–1909)
U.S. Senator and Governor of Mississippi

[Blood of Tyrants]

Kind of looks like Robin Williams.

[Borges]

He held the Senate seat currently occupied by Thad Cochran.

Kind of looks like Robin Williams.

My thought as well. A movie about his ancestor, with Robin in the leading role, could have been an interesting tragicomedy.

[RedMDer]

Probaly is Thad Cochran :)

[GOPJ]

I’m surprised that information didn’t come out while he was alive... Interesting.

Prayers for his family and loved ones... he was too young to die - at any age...

[Borges]

The difference is that this guy died of a heart attack while sitting in a rocking chair in front of his fireplace. A much better way to go.

Yeah, I guess heart attack is better than hanging yourself.

My God, Robin has the look!

[Jagman]

Am taking bets on when the first crass exploitation book or program comes out bearing the title, “Robin Williams: The Day the Laughter Died.”

[the OlLine Rebel]

But even younger.

[cripplecreek]

I didn’t know that Williams grew up in Michigan. (Born in Chicago)

[Celtic Conservative]

His dad was a Ford exec.

He was also the co-star of the hit vaudville show
McLaurin and Mindy

As a deep-south democrat, McLaurin would sit on his head and proclaim how great the president of Princeton University was.

“Wilson for POTUS! Nanoo nanoo!” McLaurin would shout for no reason, as the audience roared with laughter.

[mikrofon]

Oh yeah, the Senator looks like a load of laughs ... ;)

[Borges]

He’d be more of a William Jennings Bryan man.

Robin Williams came from a wealthy family I know this much..... Plus was an only child IIRC

[V K Lee]

Third Vote. Robin Williams does resemble him.

[fwdude]

I love those old-fashioned names from the 19th Century. Wonder if they’ll ever make a comeback.

Like Armstrong B Cutler the 5th
