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.

Pam Dawber has been married to NCIS star Mark Harmon for a very many years, and was pals with Rebecca Schaeffer, the young actress who was murdered by her stalker.
“...Pam Dawber must be a brain dead idiot...”
I had a friend who thought she was really fine. He always saying, “Well, I’d dawber!”
Shaz-bot! Orson.
I didn’t see much of what Williams did, but what little I heard of him made me dislike him. I once heard him tell a joke that had him having sex with his grandmother. That was enough for me.
Williams, like most comedians, was a highly insecure person who needed people to laugh at him to feel loved. He did have a very fast wit, which is something few comedians have and is definitely a gift.
Mork and Mindy was back in the 1970s before the term “sexual harassment” even existed. Women learned, in their own ways, how to deal with pervs making passes at them and life went on. I would suggest Ms. Dawber had a far healthier life because she could laugh at her co-stars crudity rather than getting all in a snit over it.
She probably also knew that if she walked out on the show, ABC would find a new co-star for Williams in two seconds and she wouldn’t be remembered at all.
it wasn’t that long ago that women knew how to deal with boorish behavior
They didn’t wear hat pins just to keep their hats on...
Oh, that’s the “Good, Better, Best” marketing, as seen in the old Sears Roebuck catalogs.
Daddy, can I have THAT one?
When My mom was at the airport waiting for me to come
in from Vietnam, the plane was late and she was upset
and crying. Bob Hope had just deplaned, saw her and
asked what was the matter. She told him and he told
her it was going to be all right and gave her a hug.
Hubba-bubba, what a cutie. Mork was funny for a while, but the coke fueled mania got tiring.
I wonder what SMG has to share from The Crazy Ones?
Two movies with Williams that I enjoyed were Hook and Good Will Hunting. Neither movie was a comedic role for him.
Of course, Robin Williams is dead, and can’t defend himself.
I see nothing wrong with that behavior. I grew up in a different world. A world where adults (of both sexes) could tell off-color jokes to each other, horse around and even flirt. If things went too far and someone got offended, they’d back off. But nobody every filed an HR complaint over it.
May God bless him and have mercy on his soul. He was a good man. I remember my mom being upset as we said goodbye to my brother at the airport as he was leaving for Vietnam
He survived but my uncle, a highly decorated captain, was killed there. What a waste of good men that war was.

Above is a goofy clip with Robin Williams and Billy Crystal. They happened to be near the set of the show “Friends” and did an impromptu piece. I’m not sure if it was entirely adlib - as Joey’s comment is priceless - seems a bit too quick for adlib. Although the gal’s comment at the end might be.
Oh my God! That pant suit! My eyes!!!
Pam Dawber probably didn’t even use the phrase “sexually harrassed”. Most likely the reporter’s description, either for sensationalism or for lack of any alternate point of view on the reporter’s part.
The problem with that definition is that there is no objective measure for the behavior, only the subject response which can vary from person to person. If she didn't mind, but the person next to her did, then is it half of a crime? If neither of them minded it, but their husbands did when they heard about it that evening, was it a crime? We should always try to avoid the subjective trap within the Leftists' selective enforcement of law.
