Robin Williams - When the Laughter Stops 1951-2014
“My parents died. Your father died. Everybody dies. I’m going to die too. So will you. The thing is, to have a life before we die. It can be a real adventure having a life.’ JENNY FIELDS (GLENN CLOSE), THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP (1982) By the early 1980s Williams was certain about what he wanted to do: to go into mainstream acting. This had, after all, been the initial intention: he had trained at The Juilliard as an actor, not a stand-up comic and, if they hadn’t seen his potential there, the ...fault was with them. And while Popeye had been a disappointment, there were plenty more projects in the pipeline. But what he went for next startled everyone.
The World According To Garp (1982) was John Irving’s fourth novel, a bestseller and winner of the National Book Award for Fiction. It was to be turned into a film, coincidentally also starring John Lithgow in a leading role. (Lithgow later starred in the TV series 3rd Rock From The Sun [1996–2001], another alien in a suburban-setting comedy, which owed a great deal to Mork & Mindy.) It started with Jenny Fields (Glenn Close, at that point not yet very famous – this was her screen debut), a nurse in the Second World War who impregnates herself via a dying soldier known only as Garp.MoreLess

I have a better understanding of Robin Williams after reading this book. I had forgotten how many movies he was in, and it was great remembering all of them, and the laughs I had at the time. He was truly one of a kind. Someone I would have truly been happy to have had as a friend.Write Review:
