Robin Williams’ co-star never took offense at his groping
NY Post ^ | 3/21/18 | B Hood

Robin Williams’ “Mork & Mindy” co-star, Pam Dawber, claims she was repeatedly sexually harassed by the late comedian, but she didn’t mind....

Dawber, 66, said Williams was able to get away with behavior — which also included walking on set naked and breaking wind on her — that some might consider reprehensible because he was being playful.

He did some mean Ronald Reagan routines. I think he made fun of the Alzheimers, though perhaps it was before the diagnosis was made public.

That interview I posted in #97, he’s classic Robin Williams, but he does get serious in some parts.

I have seen some of his USO videos. I could be wrong, but I don’t remember him talking about cocaine to the troops.

Moscow on the Hudson

I was living in manhattan then

You’d watch movies and notice everywhere you’d go in your everyday life

I imagine Los Angeles is like that....

New Orleans and Miami are filmed quite a bit too

Pam Dawber must be a brain dead idiot to allow a farting naked man anywhere near her.

I bet that's a sentence you never expected to type! Can I steal it for my tagline? :D

For what it's worth, to clarify, I never watched more than a couple of minutes of Mork and Mindy in my sixty five years. I couldn't even stand the commercials for it at the time.

I did enjoy "Good Morning Viet Nam" a little bit, mostly it was because he was controlled to some degree by the director.

Honey. I totally relate. When I lived in Switzerland with my first husband, we’d be watching a movie in the theater there, and I’d be the only one crying during a shoot em up chase scene because I was homesick for the streets they were racing through. Lol.

Oh man, he must have seriously been to a sheep shearer before that scene. Lol.

I’m glad he could laugh at it. Rofl that Coco the gorilla hit on him, if that is true.

Maybe you go for the low-brow humor, but I do not. Williams’ “gift” was he learned to parody Jonathan Winters.

And it isn’t just that he walked into a room naked. It’s that he thought it was a good idea. That stunt is something some of you would moan and cry about if Harvey Weinstein did it.

Yes, thanks for saying it. Dawber put up with Williams’ pervish ways because money.

Try walking into your neighbors house nude and see what happens to you.

“Maybe you go for the low-brow humor, but I do not.”

Well, good for you. That doesn’t mean you get to gripe about other people enjoying what you do not.

Jonathan Winters was one of my all time favorites. Neither Williams nor anyone else I can think of could touch him. We did have a disc jockey in Seattle who used to do a pretty good imitation of his voice for one of his radio characters. Anybody from ‘60s Seattle knows who I’m talking about.

And a woman thinks of sex every thirteenth day or so, most usually when looking into the display window of an expensive dress, jewelry or gift shop.

If Pam Dauber ever saw me walk out on the set naked she’d beg me to fart on her, just for starters.

lol!

He seemed to be mentally unstable, even schizophrenic.

Bipolar more likely.

Laughing at him was like laughing at Howard Sterns belittling of midgets and the retarded. I laughed, but felt guilty afterwards.

It was like he was manifesting symptoms for medical students to diagnose.

It wasn't hard to feel uncomfortable watching him.

Plus when he went into one of his rants he'd get all sweaty.

“...belittling of midgets...”

You did not really just say that, did you?
