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.
I don’t remember watching “Mork and Mindy” when we were kids, but it’s possible.... I definitely remember the show, but I’m thinking I didn’t watch it much (had too much homework all the time!). I liked him in “Jumanji” and also the Ben Stiller museum movies. I still can’t wrap my head around that he was that badly off and had to end it. It’s all so very sad.
