In other news, I just found out that Robin Williams died and I'm pretty upset about it. I LOVED Mork and Mindy re-runs as a kid, and I still think that Mrs. Doubtfire was one of the best movies ever. One time I was talking to my mom on the phone when she was an extra on the set of Patch Adams (random), he walked by and shook her hand, while we were on the phone. So thats my celebrity connection.
Of course, it is sadder still that Mr. Williams suffered from apparently poorly managed depression throughout his lifetime, and I can only hope that his friends and family were as loving and supportive as possible through his illness. From the early statements I have read that have been put out by his wife, it appears as though they were.
So. A sad farewell to a great actor who definitely had an impact on my life. I foresee a flurry of commemorative news stories and virtual awareness rallies regarding depression and suicide, which hopefully will bring this important issue to the forefront, though I'm sure only briefly.
On that note, signing off now. Or as Mork would say... Na-nu, Na-nu.
