It's sad the world lost a major artistic talent. He blessed us with his wonderful movies and tv - Good will hunting, Good morning Vietnam, What dreams may come ( a favourite of mine very touching and a beautiful palette), the Dead poets society and Mrs Doubtfire to name a few.
I grew up with Mork and Mindy.
Maybe a part of him really did feel like an alien on earth.
Severe depression, with it's melancholy and topped up with addictions took there toll.
May he be at peace now.
My uncle suffered depression with psychotic features of paranoia which saw him kill himself. I was very close to him and was a vulnerable teenager. It left a mark of unhappiness on our family.
Shame also stained - I'm from a small NZ town. There is also guilt. These can be heavy burdens - please do not bear them alone.
Mental illness is deserves tender treatment. Please if you have concerns about a loved one and notice changes in their thinking and behaviour consult a health professional.
Help is out there.
In mourning I will be watching a film of Robins soon to honour his life.
Best Wishes Philipa.
