Hidden Pain of Robin Williams

Robin made up stories to entertain himself, in an attic in Chicago. We were soon the eager recipients of talents he had honed. His heart was enormous; his generosity unfathomable. Many probably do not realize how super talented he was. When you are a comedian, people do not realize …. How much pain you have been through. What you have had to overcome. Some of us gleaned this, some of us knew. It was not anything he did that gave it away. It was that we too had experienced this kind of pain.

He was in many ways a tragic fiigure - so bright, so disturbed. Nice tribute.

So brilliant, so marvelously giving, and so sadly let down by many
