You’re a sweetheart!
In today’s San Francisco news, my sister’s friend lives a block away from the Mrs. Doubtfire house. She sent a series of photos that she took. So many flowers and candles and cards.
They’re about the same photos that we’ve probably seen on the news. But... it’s always interesting to have the direct contact too.
I had lunch with my parents yesterday (they don’t live in SF anymore) and they were still shaken up about it too.
My mom talked again about the restaurant (when Mr. Williams lived in a SF neighborhood called “Seacliff”). He always ate at the restaurant with his wife and mom, and everyone left him alone there. He was perpetually nice and never condescending or anything (unlike too many other celebs).
Ah thanks! Wonderful first hand accounts. I can’t claim status as a huge Williams fan, but as a young adult I did listen to his comedy tapes, and I enjoyed him in a few movies one of which was Mrs. Doubtfire which was incredibly funny and touching at the same time. He really was an excellent, diverse actor. As I child, I watched the silly Mork and Mindy. And I would always enjoy his antics and speed of mind on the Johnny Carson Show, etc. I know he was just a celebrity, but he was a human first, and I’m sorry for the pain he was in. I hope some good can come from more awareness about depression.
