Parkinson's was pbly the straw that broke the camel's back.
I, for one, believe in living wills, DNR, and assisted suicide. I don't believe in taking the easy way out or leaving your children grieving, but, when all hope for quality living is gone, a person should have the right to choose his own fate.
Has anybody else seen billboards paying tribute to him? I have never, ever in my life seen a billboard honoring a celebrity who has just died. Saw one today on a expressway in Michigan. (IDK, maybe it's a common thing in LA or NYC.)
It was one of those digital ones that rotates between three or four different advertisers. A big picture of Robin Williams caught my eye. All I could read before it changed was, "Comedian, Actor..." something, something, something..."DJ, Alien. Thank you, Robin." I have no idea who the sponsor was.
I guess if anyone deserves it, he does. He touched so many millions with his gift, but it saddens me to know that he was in so much emotional pain that he saw no other way out.
The salute was developed by an art director for Adams Outdoor Advertising in the Carolinas, said Jim Balestino, the company's Hampton Roads general manager. The company occasionally has space on its billboards, and officials decided to make use of it with a tribute to the actor whose career and talents touched millions.
The message began running Tuesday afternoon and will continue for a few days in several of the company's markets ..... "We just thought it was the right thing to do," Balestino said."
Thanks for that additional info, Connie! What a nice thing for Adams Outdoor Advertising to do, run a tribute like that without getting paid by anybody to do so.
You don't know me, but I've been watching your work since I was a kid. As someone who always had to be the class clown, you were a great inspiration. Your comedy was genius with perfect delivery every time.
My first dose of your serious self was Dead Poets Society. "O Captian, my Captain" Were I inclined to bring a male dog into my home, his name would likely be Captain...
I don't know what troubles you had. I don't know how I would have responded to them were they mine. It is not my job to judge. It is my job, as a fan, to mourn a great and tragic loss.
I do hope, Sir, that you have been able to regain your laugh, and find your smile again.
