This book genuinely makes me just want to hug Robin Williams. He was funny, but he was also sensitive and insecure. He was so much more human that we ever could have known.

readinginthedark It's interesting how many actors and actresses suffer from mental health issues and anxieties like this. You don't realize it until you read a memoir or biography, I guess. 5y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark I think maybe they become actors/actresses because they enjoy not being themselves for a while, and it turns out their good at it. In his case, I think we got a glimpse when headlines came shooting out that he‘d hanged himself. It was shocking because this guy that made the whole world happy didn‘t get any of that happiness for himself. I didn‘t know it was as deep seated as that. 5y
readinginthedark I think maybe you're right. Escapism of sorts. 5y

GingerAntics @readinginthedark not going to lie...Robin Williams still is my escapism. I just adore him. 5y
readinginthedark I agree. Just an amazing man and talent. 5y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark that seems to be a recurring theme throughout the book. He‘s so talented, he‘s such a wonderful person, etc. (edited) 5y
