Robin Williams struggled to remember his lines.
This was unusual for the hyperverbal, Oscar-winning actor, and it hit him hard in Vancouver in 2014 during the filming of “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” the third movie in the successful family franchise.

In earlier days, I think he likely would have proven it with a tirade of foul but hilarious humor.
“Very few have a good end.”
In Christ, we all have good ends.
My uncle had that. I was told it was like a combination of the worst of Parkinson’s with the worst of Alzheimer’s.
Truly terrible.
Watch the series Boss starring Kelsey Grammer. Not only is it extremely well acted and lots of intrigue but you will learn about the disease Lewy Body Dementia. It’s devastating.
With Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, the people generally don't "comprehend" that they are losing themselves.
I don't know of a person with Alzheimer's killing themselves.
They just fade into oblivion.
My dear grandma had it.
By the end, she still thought she was a nurse, making her "rounds" on patients in her nursing home.
They even gave her a pencil and paper so she could write down her notes.
With Lewy Body disease, the patients usually are very well aware that they are fading, but they don't know why.
I'd think that would be much more terrible, having complete "conscience", but knowing what will happen to you.
I went visit my mom today.
We had a half hour talk. No two sentences went together. She was just stringing together words and phrases from past conversations. I just held her hand and went along.
The time to recognition varies from a second to almost 10-15 seconds now. In a few months I will simply be familiar.
This is the sixth time I have walked this road.
I will not walk it with my kids.
My mom had dementia at 90, died at 91...I wouldn’t wish it on America’s worst ever traitor.
Thank you, FRiend.
May God bless.

Hey Pam it’s not funny.
Mar 21, 2018 - Robin Williams’s Mork & Mindy co-star has said he repeatedly grabbed her breasts and bottom and exposed himself to her on the set, a new book reveals, but she excused it as part of Williams’s playful personality. ... Williams would also wrestle her, break wind on her and come on to the set totally naked.

I’m sorry for your loss.
So much of Robin William’s comedy he took directly from a true comedian Jonathan Winters.
She passed in 2011, the pain lessens but never goes away. Thank you.
Tea Teetotaler or drunkard, Famous or a mere face in the crowd, Saint or Sinner this disease cares not a wit
Prayers
Defend the lowly and fatherless;
render justice to the afflicted and needy.
Rescue the lowly and poor;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

“Mork & Mindy,” which, by the following spring in 1979, reached 60 million viewers. Robin Williams was now a household name.
I think that’s because in 1979 there were only 3 channels, and now there are 11 million channels.
