word around the campfire is that "A-E A" may have been involved.... the curse of David Carradine continues!! I think that is just a nasty rumor if that was the case it would be reported on the real news sites. I think that he hung himself or put a hose in the exhaust pipe of his car and fell slept. He did so many movies it is hard to say which was my favorite not counting his many voice characters (the genie form Aladdin) I loved him in Moscow on the Hudson. He was born to play Popeye it was not a great movie but he did bring Popeye to life. The doctor in Awakenings. The teacher in Dead Poets society The World according to Garp. I liked him in Bicentennial Man weak script better book. Good Will Hunting he stole the movie and did deserve his Oscar. He played a grown up Peter Pan in Hook. How could any one forget him in Good Morning Vietnam? Jumanji another unforgettable role. The Birdcage he was so convincing as a gay man. Mrs. Doubtfire. The Best of Times such a funny movie. If you saw him in Comic Relief with Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal he was outstanding as a stand up comic, a genius at work. He was so funny singing Blame Canada (from the South Park movie) for the Oscar nominated song they had his mouth taped up unforgettable performance. |

This was such sad news.
I have yet to see "Popeye".
I remember he was good as a stalker who developed photos for a living, so of course he was able to look at the people's lives. "One Horu Photo", I think it was.
Newspaper articles call him a comedian but he was a great dramatic actor too.
Wait, no one mentioned "Mork"? Now there's where you see him at his craziest.

I really want to go behind the scenes in Hollywood to see what gets all these rich, famous celebrities to end up with drug habits and develop depression and suicidal thoughts.

Such sad news.  I remember the first time that i saw his [semi-recent] Snickers commercial... I laughed so hard. I would always watch it when they aired it no matter how many times they played it. He always had such charisma, passion, and personality you were just drawn to him. |

I'm thinking they aired it around the time of the Betty White commercials... The magazines are already starting to cover Robin's death. Both People and Entertainment Weekly have him on the cover. www.people.com/people/static/h/package/thisweeksissue/index.htmlwww.magazines.com/entertainment-weekly/7068-MA,default,pd.html?afd_number=4200&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&cvosrc=ppc.ppc%2520content.bing.entertainment%20weekly{placement}&matchtype=p&creative=2890858652&orderitemid=30288666981&utm_campaign=Magazines-+Entertainment+&+TV+%28ROI%29&siteID=ZXZsuJIQEQ4-7*7GWPmwRM*tKqLQk9sXsA *Just copy and paste the 2nd one. The link is too long for it to work for a link. |

They also discovered he had been suffering secretly with Parkinson's disesas. I have a few favorite roles of his: I loved him as Genie in the two Aladdin films he appeared in because he brightened up my mood when watching the movies and my dad used to mimic some of the scenes from the movie to make me laugh. I liked him in Mrs. Doubtfire as the outrageous nanny and newly divorced father Daniel who was trying to gain custody of his kids, the court room scenes are very touching to watch him show a serious sensitive side to him. I like him in Jumanji as Alan Parish who was like a kid and had grown up in the jungle and the misadventures he has with his crush Sarah and the two kids who have moved into his old childhood home. I loved him in Hook as the the grown-up Peter Pan who has forgotten about his childhood and what it means to be a kid, he has become a workaholic who has forgotten what is really important in life. These are just a few of the roles I loved him in, I have several of his movies but these are the ones that come to mind when I think of Robin Williams. This photo I found online is from the movie "Hook" and it is where Tinker Bell is telling Peter Pan how much she loves him even though he is returning back to normal life as an adult and his children. The photo could describe a lot of us with our thoughts of Robin Williams:  |

I cant watch his movies anymore. I feel the same way about Christopher Reeve. I don't feel that I can't watch any of Robin Williams films. |

Does anyone know how long he was suffering with Parkinson's disease? I don't think that it was that long. I do wonder about the suicide rate with all of the drugs he was taking, most people who are diagnose with depression built up a tolerance to their meds and need to have them adjusted every few years. A lot of people who have been diagnose with depression when they are young seem to get better when they are over the age of 40, other people get much worst and the meds don't help and can even make the condition worst. |

I wonder what happen with him? I wonder why he didn't reach out for help or checked himself into a hospital because of suicide thoughts. He had so much to live for even if everything looked so dark at the moments before he took his life. |
