Nice piece, Herb. I am neither a frequent TV nor Movie-goer, and not interested in celebrity and stars, Unexpectedly, RW's suicide saddens me as though I knew him. He was so fast and such a virtuouso as an actor and comedian. It surprises me that he could not have been saved from his depression with many followers who loved him and must have been aware of his fragility. His behavior was so clearly manic--his intensity so revealing of his desperation--maybe this is only hindsight, but I think not. What a sad end to such brilliance! What a loss for his family, friends and fans.
