A Comic Through The Ages
I've been a Robin Williams fan since his space ship landed and he sat upside down in a chair in Mindy's living room on television. I had no idea then that he was actually holding the manic genius in check for those shows - I only knew he made me laugh. And, over the years he has continued to make me laugh with nearly everything he does.
(I've done my best to keep this page "G" rated - but be warned...there are parts of his body of work that are rather adult in nature. His movies will be true to whatever ratings they show, but his stage show and some on his albums can cross the line. Just so you're prepared.)

- Robin Williams is probably my favorite actor. If I hear he's in movie that's enough for me to want to go out and watch it. Like you, I've been a fan since Mork and Mindy.

- He is the best - I actually got to meet him when I was only 9 years old - I went to a taping of the Mork and Mindy show. That was back when he was just getting noticed. He is one funny guy.
