Robin Williams RIP

[TennesseeTuxedo]

Mork is no more.

Any talk of cause of death? Has this been in the news all day or did it just happen?

 

[Hook]

Just saw the report. Apparently suicide. Sad. Always liked him except his current tv series.
Rip

 

[Jalopy]

That is sad news.You never know all the torments people carry with them. Substance abuse would be a terrible burden.May he find peace now.

 

[Jogeephus]

I hate that. He was good.

 

[Alan]

Sad news a very multi talented actor, from comedy roles to serious role as in good will hunting. Reports sound like it was suicide, we will see. RIP, loved him as a young man in Mork and Mindy and admired his range in acting in later years.

Never did like that guy.

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

Never did like that guy.

And to think, he thought you were just terrific.

 

[greybeard]

""suicide due to asphyxia." I assume that means he hung himself?

Didn't care for Mork/Mindy or most of his other stuff, but loved his character in this one--definitely my favorite.

I did not like Mork but was a fan of most of his movies. I think he was a unique talent. My son will be sad.

Sad news!!!

 

[Hook]

Seems he hung him self

Great video GB, thank you! Great movie and really showed his talent. RIP Robin

He had been battling depression and had entered a 12 step program for drug abuse. He was a brilliant actor and never ceased to amaze me with his quick wit.
In a way I am not surprised. He always seemed to be wired and I don't think that the public ever saw him just being himself. He was always a character.
I am so sad that he did not see a reason to keep on living.

Don't like Jim Carrey either.

 

[Don McCallum]

I am not a comedy watcher, but we did name our daughter Mindy. I really did like Good Will Hunting, and I didn't like Good Morning Vietnam,
because war is not funny.

 

[Ouachita]

Yeah Jim Carrey is an abomination to movie stars. Well, on second thought, maybe he is just a product of same.
I did not like Mork. In fact it took me a long time to get past his Mork character, but I eventually did. I liked his character in several later movies, and could appreciate his gift. I'm a little sad, but not surprised. I don't think a person can be adaptive to the roles he played without having a screw loose (or too tight) somewhere. RIP and prayers to those close to him that knew his internal struggle with this world

I think that is the case with a lot of brilliant lifetime actors. They get pushed to acting because they don't like being themselves. That is so sad to me. Sooner or later you have to quit acting and face yourself.

No war is not, but AFVN (the Vietnam version of AFRTS) was at times, and it was a welcome change. I listened to it at night and sometimes, if it was a "milk run" the pilots would tune it in and we would listen to it thru the headsets in our flight helmets and we did as well when we were doing flare drops at near our max ceiling.
Adrian Cronauer was a real disc jokey at AFVN in 66 (before my time there) but all the morning DJs after Cronauer's tour ended carried on the same opening line and format.
