In second grade, with my mom's help, I wrote a fan letter to Robin Williams. He sent me back a hand written letter, and a signed Mork poster! Will forever be my #1 favorite celebrity.
@@Tatvam_ My mom made a couple phone calls, and found ABC's mailing address. (Mork & Mindy aired on ABC). Somehow the letter got to Mr. Williams. It was pretty early in his debut season.
I don't think I have ever had a celebrity death that hit me harder than Robin Williams' passing. A man who brought so much laughter and joy to millions of people around the world, who was simultaneously so tormented by his internal mental and emotional struggles. He was an absolute force of nature on the stage and in front of the camera, and even though I never met him, I miss him dearly.
Anthony Bourdain hit hard also. He had everything and still hung himself in a 5 star hotel in France where one night cost more than most folks make in a month.
Kurt Cobain, Robin WIlliams, Norm MacDonald, and Anthony Bourdain are the only times I was ever truly affected by a celebrity death. I'm not one to have idols, heroes, or parasocial relationships, but those four felt personal. The news wasn't just a bummer. It HURT.
His passing was so devastating that it's one of those moments that you remember where you were when you first heard that he passed. I was working and thought people were messing with me. I was in such denial. I refused to believe it until I got home. 😢 I really miss that man.
@@chasehedges6775 Same. If it wasn't for Robin Williams, I don't think I would have known it was possible to miss a man I've never met. And yet, I do.
My heart broke apart when the surreal news came out that Robin Williams passed. He’d been such a light in a terribly darkening world, and being one that had struggled with thoughts and attempts of snuffing my own light out, I remember thinking “If someone so bright and beloved could end it, what hope is there for the rest of us?” Strangely enough, the answer came a few weeks later when I finally had the strength to watch one of his earlier stand-up routines, bowling over in stitches, tears streaming down my face in a serious fit of laughter, and it felt as if that old friend had never left. He’ll always be remembered and loved, and all the many times he made us laugh and feel so deeply would always be there, and Thank God for the time we had him in the world. ❤
Thank you so Much Danny, in a weird way i feel like this just helped me cope with Robin's loss, thank you for not taking a sad angle wich he would have Hated. Robin williams lives on throught the Millions of people he inspired and he now lives on through your Hands.
In my opinion Robin William's passing was the biggest shocker and saddest in Hollywood history. I enjoyed his work in both kid friendly yet adult media as well. And it's saddening that he ended his suffering due to lewy body dementia. Despite everything his acting, his comedy and talent was earned and it was genuine. I hope he's at peace now and thanks to him I appreciate the art of voice acting. Thank you Mr. Robin Williams and rest in peace.
Honestly I hope he’s doing better. I’d hate to have dementia and tbh I’d probably do the same thing. Rip to the best comedian. Especially his standup oh my god he was a king
Robin is a once in a lifetime pure gem of an entertainment powerhouse. He was certainly the first celebrity death that truly, deeply saddened me. A person who I grew up watching near every day. The first actor I knew by name. A man who when I'd watch him would make me laugh until I cry, but then, he became a man that when I watch I feel like crying as I laugh. I love taking an opportunity to listen to his words too. He had such an eloquence in his insanity. A man of madness that meant so much. And in the lessons he chose to spread to us, his ideals of embracing your uniqueness is sure to live on forever. It's hard to express what he really means to me, even though I've never met him. Thank you Dodford for this one. Been waiting on and looking forward to this one for a long time. There's no better person to speak on Robin than Robin himself. Your uniqueness always shines through with your docs, I'd like to believe Robin would be proud.
I will always remember the morning we found out he passed. I woke up and came out to the living room to find my mom bawling watching the news, his death really impacted both of us and i still get incredibly emotional thinking about it. Its honestly so weird that a man we never met was able to touch both of our lives in that way, lots of peoples lives in fact; He was a genuine light in this dark fucked up world, and we are all worse off without him But at the same time, the world is better for having had him in it for the years he was here Rest in Peace Robin
This helped me grieve in a weird way. I was very young when he died, but the laughs he gave me... he was like a friend in a strange way. I miss him every day, but this video is beautiful-a culmination of everything Robin loved and wanted people to learn from his life.
Growing up I had some problems with my father. I used to watch and rewatch Mrs. Doubtfire imagining he was my father. He brought me so much confort and joy, I still can't believe he's gone
I remember crying when he passed, and I couldn't even articulate why. I don't think I'd ever wept before (or since) over the death of a stranger who I only knew from film. Obviously, his work must have impacted me far more than I understood, right up to the point where I knew I wouldn't be seeing any new roles from him. I'm grateful to have his backlog of films to watch whenever I need a pick-me-up, but now I have to view them through a bittersweet lens.
This was very beautifully made! Great editing and story work told by the characters themselves, which is a very hard thing to do. Bravo! Robin Williams' death is one of the few celebrities in this world that was a shock to me and really affected me, he was one of my favorite actors. RIP
UA-cam is ridiculous. Any mentions of words or concepts they don’t like and they completely block this amazing and moving piece of art and remembrance from a greater audience. It is so upsetting to see this site come to this point. As an aside, you make amazing content dodford. Keep up the amazing work. You bring light to the work people put in to help others.
I lost my dad to suicide last year, and there were so many parallels to his later experience and Robins. Watching this connected a lot of dots for me in a way I think I've been afraid to for a while. Thank you for that.
Prayers man ❤🙏 I got to talk to my pops mins after he sunk a round in the wall on accident; was on the same path 😢❤🫤 im grateful i heard it and woke up
This video had me absolutely sobbing. He brought a lot of light to my life. I didn't realize he had LBD, I can't say I blame the guy for taking matters into his own hands. He must have been terrified.
Yeah, LBD is horrific and I’m so glad you saw that and can pass it on to others. Every year, depression talks happen and Robins quotes are shared and it bothers me. He was in pain.
Man I am 3:00 minutes in and this is a masterpiece. The way you are telling the story of Robin and connecting all different roles is amazing! Thank you for making this. Rest in peace Robin
Thanks for this. I've been very depressed today and kind of thinking of folks I admired who are no longer with us. Kentaro Miura, Akira Toriyama, Athony Bourdain, Carrie Fisher, and Robin Williams... I guess UA-cam Algorithm picked up on it and recommended the 4.3k view video to me. Very inspirational and I didn't know about him dying with Lewy Body Dementia. Just goes to show how much the initial coverage can color your mental picture of what happened. I appreciate this video so much right now.
The biggest two for me are Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell. It may sound horrible, but their deaths made me realize how important mental health was/is.
Really nice work. I was fortunate to grow up during the era of Robin dominating so many roles he was in, it was a huge shock when he died. Thanks for this
Thank you. I put this on “watch later” as I knew it would affect me. He has been a guiding light in my life for a very long time. In fact read the description of my channel. This was such a fitting piece of art that reflected him. You didn’t linger. You got to the heart of everything. Especially the misunderstanding that he offed himself becuase he was depressed. Thank you for ending on the amazing note that he always wanted to help. Bravo.
You are consistently releasing some of the highest quality content on this platform. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos shedding light on the lesser appreciated sides of performance. Wonderful and very sincerely touching video essay.
I can still recall being blown away by Mork from Ork on Happy Days back in the day and I was so excited that they turned the character into a whole show. I looked forward to Mork and Mindy every week. Robin and Steve Martin were everything to me as a teenager into comedy. Watching Robin grow into a world class actor was pretty special. He had a massive impact on me and his loss was far more devastating than most celebrities, it felt different, like a close friend or relative.
Robin William's death especially saddened me knowing it was preventable. Knowing his condition, I can, however, respect his want to go on his own terms, while his memories of life were still there to bid him farewell. It's not the decision I would have made, or would recommend to anyone, but I can at least understand it.
Forever in my heart and in the hearts of humanity. I will always HAVE the SPARK...it's eternal. Always remembered for your gifts to humanity. Thank you! Love, Maria
@@lionelrivera_MMA Haha, we've all been there. In all seriousness, it is nice seeing some of my favorite UA-camrs supporting each other, even when the genre of content is unrelated.
That was fantastic!! Thank you for creating and sharing this. Robin Williams played a big part in my childhood. So many great movies. It's like my life almost revolved around them. Later on, in my late teenage years I enjoyed many of his comedy specials with my mom and dad. I was so heartbroken when I heard of his passing. I had no idea he was suffering with dementia until I watched this. I remember hearing about him having Parkinson's disease and struggling with it immensely, but hadn't heard these follow-up findings. How dreadful... That a man who brought so many people so much joy ends up with such a terrible affliction. My grandmother passed last month. They diagnosed her with dementia, though I still have my doubts - even though it runs on her side of the family. I spent a lot of time researching medicine she was prescribed, looking for a root cause that doctors may have overlooked, as I see potential side effects cast aside quite frequently in the medical field... She suffered greatly for about 5 years before she passed. It was an absolute nightmare. But, on somewhat if a plus side, often she wouldn't remember falling or being sick every other day. We were very close, and everything about her disease, how relationships changed in terms of focusing on her care, the f*cking piss poor treatment she received in the nursing home and borderline neglect and lack of empathy and care she received from both my aunt and uncle... It will all stick with me for a very long time. I feel Robin taught me a lot. Not in his comedy or his acting, but somehow just his nature as a human being while he was here played into instilling a certain view I have on life and about people in general. We're all here together. We all struggle. Some more than others. Some more loudly than others... Just be kind. Observe the universe presenting itself to you and act accordingly, with kindness and generosity whenever possible. Do something to put a smile on someone's face or brighten their day. Anything to make it a little easier.
Thank you. This is a beautiful memorial for a beautiful human. Celebrating the vibrant life rather than the tragic death will help me to start watching his work with a smile rather than tears. Once more, a true and heartfelt, thank you.
what a lovely, fantastic, and heartfelt documentary. i miss this man. he was a huge huge gem for the Bay Area. before he passed away you had a decent chance catching him in various place of San Francisco. he always made time for his fans. what a true legend.
I still don't understand why none of your videos this year have gone viral or at least got the recognition they deserve, the storytelling and editing are out of this world, easily three of your videos this year are in my top Five Favorite UA-cam videos of 2024 ( including that one).
After watching this all I could do was sit and ponder upon it. Creating brighter days and smiles by helping others grow just to be caught in recurrence like that. A moment where the creations of the mind beliefs, thoughts and manifestations overwhelm the brightest memories. Growth of paranoia and fear... What is it the next good feeling or long memory? That, cause the thoughts of the darkness; of voided consciousness? Might ease or satiate my mind... It is the semblance of normality, or recovery, from the absence of the smiles, laughter, love. Allowing you... family and friends will better wounds and sickness often are mended. The sooner the symptoms have been rooted out and treated. I hope he found where comfort. His spirit and energy were and are felt by many.
If it wasn't for this video, I might have never known the real reason behind his death. Most celebrity deaths don't really move me, but two that I can tell you right away; Robin Williams and Norm Macdonald. But a suicide by a comic, especially when the reason would be depression, is the most painful thing, since you ( I ) look up to them for finding the humor in anything and everything, and ending it all is such a resolute answering "There's no relief". Thanks so much for making clear to me what was actually behind his actions. Also, what a video this is. I can't fathom how you'd even go about making such a flawless running narative, only made and cut together with pre-existing footage. I was already subscribed but this video really both struck a chord as well as showed me in such a big way how good you are at what you do.
I better see Jumanji Legit childhood favourite had on VHS tape then DVD personal top 3-5 movie for me all time. and i don’t know reason why, that’s my Goat🐐
Thank you for this. It's a strange concept to be so attracted to grieving. I smile, then I cry and I "take a hit" of Robin Williams voice and then go away with a gentle, broken, gratitude that most of my life was spent growing up with his influence on my TV or big screen. I wish like with him that characters would allow me to become the bigger person that I try to be.
From the outset of this video i was thinking to myself that it seemed much more quickly paced and manic than your other videos. And then I thought oh wait, it's about Robin Williams. Of course it's manic.
10 years since we lost him to the only man that ever made me feel okay for how i was and am the only one who made me feel normal for making weird noises and doing voice impressions thank you robin williams- you saved a boy from changing for others.
Your videos i've marathoned them all lately.....Your editing style is so unique...the way you interconnect interviews and movie clips almost seamlessly together..it's like i just watched one last interview Robin Williams gave...this is one of the most creative channels on the platform and i can't wait for more!! PS. PLLLEEASSSEE do Nicholas Cage
Amazing editing! Seems like a trailer to an amazing documentary. I don`t mean it in a bad way, it is good. Keeps us always at the tip of attention, wanting more, wanting to go deeper in the moment you chose to show us. And despite the frenetic rhythm, we can follow all perfectly. Very good work. The subject is one of the most amazing performers and geniuses of our lifetime, which give you so much good stuff to work with, but the art is in how you did it.
These videos are truly amazing, using interviews and their own voices to narrate their own story is truly remarkable and something really different. Really really underrated channel❤

i remember being in the cinema when i was younger and seeing the tribute to him in night in the museum 3. i cried so hard
Anthony Bourdain hit hard also. He had everything and still hung himself in a 5 star hotel in France where one night cost more than most folks make in a month.

PREACH!!!
You chose not to interrupt this tribute with a sponsor, it shows how much respect you have for Robin.
Or he didn't have one.
So hes disrespecting every person he covers which includes a sponsor message
Today is officially 10 years since he passed. I'll never forget that day. RIP Robin Williams
10 years wow. It still feels recent 😢

Automatic, but a good feature

Might ease or satiate my mind... It is the semblance of normality, or recovery, from the absence of the smiles, laughter, love. Allowing you... family and friends will better wounds and sickness often are mended. The sooner the symptoms have been rooted out and treated.
I hope he found where comfort. His spirit and energy were and are felt by many.
Wow this Video ist so well done! I'm speechless. Thank you for this one!
Dodford is the Master of Pacing
If it wasn't for this video, I might have never known the real reason behind his death. Most celebrity deaths don't really move me, but two that I can tell you right away; Robin Williams and Norm Macdonald. But a suicide by a comic, especially when the reason would be depression, is the most painful thing, since you ( I ) look up to them for finding the humor in anything and everything, and ending it all is such a resolute answering "There's no relief". Thanks so much for making clear to me what was actually behind his actions.
Also, what a video this is. I can't fathom how you'd even go about making such a flawless running narative, only made and cut together with pre-existing footage. I was already subscribed but this video really both struck a chord as well as showed me in such a big way how good you are at what you do.
I better see Jumanji Legit childhood favourite had on VHS tape then DVD personal top 3-5 movie for me all time. and i don’t know reason why, that’s my Goat🐐
Thank you for this.
It's a strange concept to be so attracted to grieving. I smile, then I cry and I "take a hit" of Robin Williams voice and then go away with a gentle, broken, gratitude that most of my life was spent growing up with his influence on my TV or big screen.
I wish like with him that characters would allow me to become the bigger person that I try to be.
From the outset of this video i was thinking to myself that it seemed much more quickly paced and manic than your other videos. And then I thought oh wait, it's about Robin Williams. Of course it's manic.
love and respect this guy made my childhood
Wow, a magnificent piece of documentary. I've cried a lot, thank you.
This was really good man, I love how it’s always from the interviews and clip rather than you voicing over the whole thing. Great journalism
O' Captain my Captain! Much love to Mr. Williams, the heart of him!
I can't believe it's been 10 years. A part of him lives on in all of us.
Editing genius.
Yet another beautiful video. Great narrative, research and production value. Keep up the awesomness
10 years since we lost him
to the only man that ever made me feel okay for how i was and am
the only one who made me feel normal for making weird noises and doing voice impressions
thank you robin williams- you saved a boy from changing for others.
Your videos i've marathoned them all lately.....Your editing style is so unique...the way you interconnect interviews and movie clips almost seamlessly together..it's like i just watched one last interview Robin Williams gave...this is one of the most creative channels on the platform and i can't wait for more!!
PS. PLLLEEASSSEE do Nicholas Cage
R.I.P. Robin, you are a hero
This man made childhoods gave hope and happiness to millions he's sorely missed and will live on for generations
Miss Robin Williams even ten years ago I still do.
Beautiful. I hope this gets more attention. What an amazing, complicated, wonderful man.
Love this mate. This guy was my absolute hero.
Dodford, This is your best one yet. Keep up the great work.
This is a home-run of a video.
This man was my hero growing up. Thank you so much for telling his story.
Always in love with your docs, but holy shit I could not have chosen a video faster.
As always, amazing work, and thank you for it
beautiful video
I'm addicted to your content pls, don't stop.
This is amazing! Another banger man well done.
Also what a legend figure Robin Williams was...his works were truly incredible :/
Love you, Robin!
Thank you for so generously sharing your gifts!🙏❤️
Amazing editing! Seems like a trailer to an amazing documentary. I don`t mean it in a bad way, it is good. Keeps us always at the tip of attention, wanting more, wanting to go deeper in the moment you chose to show us. And despite the frenetic rhythm, we can follow all perfectly. Very good work. The subject is one of the most amazing performers and geniuses of our lifetime, which give you so much good stuff to work with, but the art is in how you did it.
Another amazing video! Every video you release, I really can't express how much the editing is amazing!
Already can't wait for your next one 😁😁😁
These videos are truly amazing, using interviews and their own voices to narrate their own story is truly remarkable and something really different. Really really underrated channel❤
The happiest man was always sad inside…
A lot of people who appear happy aren’t, the act isn’t for you, it’s for them.
