The Man Who Made Me Laugh

We just lost one of our most brilliant people in Hollywood. Robin Williams was one of my favorites from the time I first saw him on Mork and Mindy. There was Mork in his rainbow suspenders on the small screen...making my family howl with laughter. He could make anyone laugh...a natural clown.
He was one of Hollywood's most liberal democrats. He raised millions of dollars for charities....like comic relief and St Jude's. He once said of his religion....that he was Episcopalian...same thing as Catholics but fewer guilts. He was a supporter of gay rights. He spoke out about controversial things and showed no fear of this harming his career. He had his problems and suffered through them from time to time. I always hoped that he would be successful in handling them. I don't often write a post about people in the limelight, but I just had to write this... about the man who made me laugh.
