Robin Williams's story is tragic. He grew up telling jokes to keep bullies from pulverizing him and to get his mother's attention. Growing up depressed, he soon learned that addictive substances would numb the hurt. I thought Robin only had a few film roles. However, he was an accomplished actor and a great comic. This is a sad tale.
