Comedian Robin Williams dead at 63; Apparent suicide

#97

Quote:I read similar reports. He was very upfront about his two divorces costing him a bundle. However, they weren't about to have any bake sales for Robin Williams. The report I read - perhaps the one you read as well - shows you the difference between the rich and the rest of us. He considered himself to be in need of money, but the report said his net worth was now "only" $50 million - down from a previous $150 million. He was still a very bankable star.

 

I think he always had a lot going on there. I just hope his death helps in some way to help make people realize that Depression ("severe", "clinical", whatever you want to call it) is not a personal weakness but rather a mental illness, brain disorder, choose your term, and allows people to seek help without the stigma usually attached to it.
He wasn't as bankable as he used to be.  That's why he took the gig with CBS doing that show.  With that kind of perceived financial stress coupled with bi-polar disorder,  clinical depression, and addiction issues, and it was a recipe for disaster. 


Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
