TV tonight: remembering the wonderful work of Robin Williams ( www.theguardian.com )

Retreaux , 2 months ago

Honestly speaking, this was probably the only celebrity death that actually affected me. Robin was my hero, and I enjoyed so many of his performances in the 90s, primarily his role as Peter Banning in Hook, which was what inspired me as a boy to want to be a father. He was such a Pagliacci-esque figure and no matter how many smiles and laughs he created and shared, he still struggled with depression. I miss you, Robin, you were truly America's Dad.
