That's really good. Thanks for sharing.
Shazbat!!!
RIP Mork.
And on the real, mental illness is ignored in our community and that is why we deal with it the way we do.
How many times does Big momma say "Lets pray on it" or "Lets pray the lord removes the devil from this child" before we take real action.
A friend of mines Uncle had issues his whole life and the family swept it under the rug and prayed. Then he killed a bunch of people, and they were still praying.
Should have sent him to a doc when he attacked a girl when he was a teen instead of shipping him away.

can make some of the funniest jokes but can't find happiness in there life
RIP
Maybe he did find happiness and it got stale..Nothing worse than seeing a man rot from old money, its like there is nothing left but down to go..can make some of the funniest jokes but can't find happiness in there life
Ironically, the comic who used to accused Robin of stealing his bits, David Brenner, died earlier this year. Maybe that caused Robin to go into depression over lack of material
Comics are always accusing someone of stealing there material which has occurred often and will continue with unoriginal wannabee's.
But here's the thing, Most of the subject matter or material that comics have in there routine are trite subject matters that have been written and performed over and over again.
The only thing that make the material seems different in some respect is the delivery.
Some comics have writers that will sell the same joke to different comedians to make more money.
David Brenner and Robbin Williams style of delivery is on polar opposites.
Robbin's style is high energy and spontaneous, lots of movement, adrenaline rushed, and oft times with audience participation, Where as Brenner's style of delivery seemed to be methodical, less movement and layed back.
WoW!!!
Ive heard some great stories about him via Black Comedic legends.
Seemed like a cool dude.
Based off the folks he hanged with.
Im sure he lived a wild life.
Im also sure he enjoyed himself.
If he did kill himself...I wonder what sent him over the edge after all this time.
Folks who cant find happiness UNTIL they get money or acquire a lot of things via their money are some of the most depressed people in the world.
That "financial security" can only fill so many voids.
RIP to the dude!!!
Btw...all the folks thats tryna over analyze Suicides. Bottom line, excluding those who have serious mental condition, if you kill yourself or try to kill yourself ..thats just a sign of weakness. You lack resiliency. You lack fight. You became weak. Simple as that! Might not sound right..but it is what it is.
Someone losing it and killing someone else is crazy as shit as well..but when you decide to take your own life...thats on a different level. Imho................

I was stunned and saddened upon hearing this. He was a unique talent. Extremely few actors can do serious films and comedy.
He amazed me how he could go between both.
Besides him I can only think of John Leguizamo and David Alan Grier.
Regarding suicide I think there is a genetic aspect to it. Some folks (like me) cannot conceive of killing themselves. Some folks can. Point is, it's not so simple as to point the finger and say life is worth living.

Dude, I am a professional comedian. What you just said is complete bullshit. Seeing how I am a "professional" you might want to listen instead of making yourself look foolish.

I don't think people over 60 have to be mentally ill to off themselves, think about it , they luved their lives and shit really starts going downhill, in many cases. Some rather choose not being a old dude sitting back and waiting for life to throw some wild shit your direction. There are a lot of fucked up ways of dying old, and some rather go out with what dignity they have left.
I know if I make it that old, and had to wear pampers while my dick is dead, I don't know what I'd do..
r.i.p.
REST IN PEACE
Why Robin why !?! Im sitting here shocked that this brilliant bright star is gone.He was one of those rare entertainers that conquered comedy and drama.Mork & Mindy,The World According to Garp,Insomnia,One Hour Photo,Ms.Doubtfire,Good Will Hunting.His great turns on T.V with a riveting performance on Law & Order.Im truly only naming a few moments of his great career.I cant recall the theatre he was playing in but at the beginning of his stand up act he stated:ha ha you people in the front row thought you were the only ones that were going to see me up close tonight,well the jokes on you everyone is going to see me tonight! and with that Williams proceeded to climb up the balconies and walk around the whole theatre.Please go watch his interview on Inside the Actors Studio,you get a true glimpse of Williams.So much more i can say about this man i admired but i will simply end it by saying Rest easy and thanks for the years of laughs and tears.
