You have to wonder whether divorce laws and procedures are stacked against the man. How can it be right that he loses ALL of his money through going through two of them?
I would have thought he would lose a maximum of half his money on one, and a half of that half on the next.
And that is a maximum given that his contribution to the household finances was obviously much greater than that of either of his ex-wives.

apparently he was broke on the way to bankruptcy (due in part to divorces) and that drove it.

poor sod.

Dunno about anyone else, but when I think of Robin Williams, my first thought is not the manic brilliance of Mork, the verstility shown by Mrs Doubtfire or the depth he brought to his later roles, nor is it the tragic and very public, but ultimately unsuccessful, attempt to defeat his demons.

No, I think 'Career Transitioning'

damn shame

I reckon he peaked with Jumanji though.....

I find that hard to believe based on how many successful films he's been in. He's struggled with depression for a long time and you don't NEED a reason to be depressed, that's one of the key points mental health charities are keen to highlight.

Anyway, sad news. Not my favourite actor but there's nothing wrong doing "nice" films for families. He seemed like a nice chap but with obvious issues whenever he did interviews, like he couldn't stop making jokes.

Some years back, I remember Johnny Vaughan (see, it was a while back) interviewing him and saying afterwards that ht felt obliged to laugh at all the jokes, even the ones that weren't funny.

In the end, Williams said "you don't have to do that, you know? If it's not funny, don't laugh - I'll have a funny line in a few minutes anyway".

Some friends of mine were extras in Dead Poets Society and said how great he was to work with.

Just my opinion of his comedy and acting. I wasn't a fan doand didnt know him personally, therefore I'm not going to take part in the circle jerk grieving.

Then why do you feel the need to tell everyone how you feel about it?

even before Mork and Mindy, my daughter was watching the fonz (happy days ??)

and they were waiting for a pizza delivery.
there was a knock and robin williams was there.

he was totally manic, and the canned laughter was ridiculous, but I couldnt help thinking that he was great

And I imagine you've achieved so much more. (NB: Being a despised internet personality on CUK doesn't count)

Beeb are saying he hanged himself

Not a huge fan of his slapstick comedies but Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, Insomnia etc were all excellent.
