Watched the HBO Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind documentary (that was released back in 2018) that looked into the extraordinary life and career of a most amazing comedian, the great Robin Williams. It included celebrity guests with the likes of David Letterman, Jay Leno, Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Martin (Waiting for Gadot), Matt Damon & Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting) as well as his breakout acting partner, Pam Dwaber (Mork & Mindy)
'His pathos was seeking to entertain and please. And he felt when he wasn't doing that,
he was not succeeding as a person. That was always hard to see because in so many senses he is the most successful person that I know. and yet he didn't always feel that.'

- Zack Williams (son)


'Great ppl make you better. You got over the fact that it was Robin, and then you got to work.
You did what you needed to do...because you wanted to be up to speed.' It was just like
'Oh no, you're not leaving me in the dust. I'm going to be right next to you, running.
You wanted to be able to play and keep up.'

- Whoopi Goldberg


The three muskateers (Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldbert & Robin Williams!)


Also caught Les Miserables in Concert: The 25th Anniversary which included Nick Jonas who portrayed the role of Marius!


This musical NEVER stops being popular, it has such a history in my life...I remember being introduced to this musical via Grace and Jules when Ames and I were all such young'uns...I mean we were literally babies.
We memorized ALL the words in Les Mis...so that to this day I always remember and sing along to all the songs!

BUT the four of us were so diligent in learning the lyrics to the roles we were committed to (Grace - Cosette; Ames - Eponine; Myself - Fantine; Jules - ALL the male roles ahahahaaaa!!! )
