For me, he will always leave me the everlasting memory as the man who can claim to be the real Peter Pan by bringing up the child in each and everyone of us. It's really sad when one thinks what can depression and news of Parkinson's disease can do even to the most entertaining person known to more than one generation.
Godspeed, Robin, and all my sincere condolences to the family. |

Very sad news, for many years Robin was never far from an outstanding performance.
He was a big fan of anime, & dropped hints that if Neon Genesis Evangelion was ever adapted for live action he would want to play Gendo. |

Robin Williams Suffered From Dementia In His Final Days,
Says New Bio: "Actor Robin Williams was struggling with a brain disorder that was not immediately diagnosed, causing many of the bizarre symptoms that sapped him of his vitality and ultimately led him to take his own life. That’s according to a new biography, Robin (Henry Holt & Co.) by Dave Itzkoff that’s out this month and details the final stages of Williams’s life. Williams was initially diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but his behaviors in his last year were uncharacteristic of that malady, leading some to blame drugs or alcohol for his problem. Finally, a neuropathologist saw him and correctly diagnosed his affliction: diffuse Lewy body dementia. It is the second-most-common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer’s disease, as protein deposits in the brain affect thinking, memory, emotions and body movements."
