![]() This world is not kind to people who become famous, and the fame he had garnered was a nightmare. While early in life, he turned to drug use and alcohol to escape, he replaced the addiction with moments of solitude to help cope with the stress that fame brought. When he invited me and my family into his home, he valued peace and quiet, a chance to breatheâa chance to get away from the fame that his talent has brought him. Contrary to how many people may view him, he actually seemed to me to be an introvert. Also, I would like to point out, Robin would be especially kind toward my children when they would visit the set. While watching him work on the set of the film based on my lifeâ Patch AdamsâI saw that whenever there was a stressful moment, Robin would tap into his improvisation style to lighten the mood of cast and crew. He was a compassionate, caring human being. Robin was a brilliant comedianâthere is no doubt. Instead, he was always tender and welcoming, willing to help others with a smile or a joke. ![]() ![]() One important thing I remember about his personality is that he was unassumingâhe never acted as if he was powerful or famous. Robin Williams was a wonderful, kind and generous man. Surrounded by over 100 friends and clowns on our annual clown trip, we mourn this tragic loss and continue to treasure his comic genius. The terrible news of the passing of Robin Williams reached me here in the Peruvian Amazon late Monday night with tremendous sadness.
