Possibly, as mimes and clowns are creepy as ####.

Sure looks like him, but I don't think he has curly hair. Of course in those days, maybe he had a perm?

Also, I like to think that Mr. Williams was dressed up as a member of the Baseball Furies here, and not as a mime.

1974, Central Park? The time and place were right. Shortly after this picture was taken, he probably put his jersey and cap back on.

Her name is Zelda, and she seems quite familiar with how the internet and social media works so I was hoping she'd have taken the necessary precautions ahead of time to avoid being exposed to it. Yes it shouldn't happen, but the stuff people sent to her is far from the worst the internet has to offer.

Personally I don't think that looks like King at all but just wondering why you say the time and place were right? as a huge King fan I always thought he lived in Maine and Colorado. I remember him saying in an interview once that he had to go back to Maine for inspiration because Colorado and a winter home in Florida cramped him up. But I never heard NYC.

karma already caught them, anyone so empty of compassion and empathy leads a hollow unsatisfied life. There's nobody that goes around getting off making fun of someone's grief and then goes on leading a full and self-actualized life filled with meaningful positive experiences, it doesn't work that way.

Easily the best tribute to Robin Williams so far, I could listen to the older generation of comics tell stories all day, it just seems like such a tight knit community

1 year today. I'm surprised how little news it's made that it's been a year since Robin Williams passed away.

A lot right at the beginning, but yah, died right off.

Not that I'm sure what more one would say.

Sad fact but even the famous are forgotten very fast, I think people are wired to even forget their loved ones fairly quickly just so we don't go nuts. When someone or something sparks a memory we think of them but otherwise...forgotten.

How many of these people that died in the last 6 months did anyone think of or even remember they died?

Roddy Piper
Omar Sharif
BB King
Leonard Nimoy
Billy Casper
Ernie Banks

As for Williams one year anniversary Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Williams' daughter in the CBS sitcom "The Crazy Ones," posted a photo on Instagram of the Boston Public Garden bench featured in the Oscar-winning film "Good Will Hunting," starring Williams and Matt Damon.

I watched Best of Times with Williams and Russell last night, one of my guilty pleasure sports movies.

I was actually sad when I watched it.

I watched one of his earlier films and a favourite of mine, "Moscow on the Hudson". I miss his uncanny way of making people laugh

He was one of the best imo, his acting ability was insane. That scene in Good Morning Vietnam where he's reluctantly going on air after recent tragedies; remorse, shame, hesitance, charisma, humor all at once.

I remember watching in awe that he could so perfectly pull off such an intensely complex moment. Brilliant comedy followed by crippling remorse and he pulls it back together to keep on talking. A lot of actors can do one emotion perfectly but I don't remember seeing so many emotions being portrayed at once so well.

Widow says "Lewy Body Dementia" drove Williams to suicide

Quote:
However, his wife Susan has now revealed an autopsy on the Mrs. Doubtfire star also detected signs of Diffuse Lewy Body Dementia, also known as Dementia with Lewy bodies, which can cause hallucinations, motor skills issues, and a fluctuating mental state.

She blames the illness for driving Williams to suicide and reveals it had left him with "maybe three years" to live.

Susan tells Good Morning America, "Lewy Body Dementia killed Robin. It's what took his life... It's chemical warfare in the brain, and we can't find it till someone dies, definitively. There's no cure."

She expands on the issue to People magazine, saying, "I've spent this last year trying to find out what killed Robin. To understand what we were fighting, what we were in the trenches fighting, and one of the doctors said, 'Robin was very aware that he was losing his mind and there was nothing he could do about it.'

"This was a very unique case and I pray to God that it will shed some light on Lewy bodies for the millions of people and their loved ones who are suffering with it. Because we didn't know. He didn't know.

"It was not depression that killed Robin. Depression was one of let's call it 50 symptoms, and it was a small one."

My father-in-law has Lewy Body Dementia. It is just a horrible, horrible disease. I don't know how much longer he has to live but he may as well be dead as he has no quality of life right now.

My Aunt has Alzheimer's Dementia, and even the last year has been a huge drop in quality of life. I take her to Starbucks three times a week for a mocca frap and she does the simplest word searches on a tablet and it took her 8 minutes last year and now it takes 45 mins to find 5 words. None of the words are backwards. I have zero issues with assisted suicide in these instancies and I know my Aunt would have too.

Write your will people!
