Learning about Robin’s life, how he lived it and how he loved is a heart warming journey. Choosing what to share is incredibly difficult, especially if this might be the last time I publish on this website.
For this post I have chosen to share how fully he loved the people in his life, that choices were sometimes hard… but he gave his all and to anyone graced with the presence of his tender soul knows how special that gift is.
Below is the 2005 ceremony for the Cecil B. DeMille Award. He has received many awards over his lifetime and besides the one from Comedy Day, this is one of our favorites.
The following video is based on interviews recorded by Lawrence Grobel for Playboy in 1991 which reveals his sensitivity and concern for the world around him.
Robin talks about future predictions, the philosophy of comedy, then breaks down the comedy of sex and the universal faces people make during lovemaking.
FINALLY he turns to the joys of having children and looks inward at his own shortcomings and, of course, being hairy.
Thank you to his family and friends for sharing this beautiful soul with the world. It must have been very difficult at times to find a balance between boundless dreams and enthusiasm and the finite time we all have on this earth.
In the end none of us have very long on this earth. …but for some, our legacies will last for many generations to come.
About the project: Instead of “liking” Robin and all that he stood for, you are being invited to be Robin for someone else. Let’s echo an immense legacy and fill the world with MORE love.
Let’s rise to the occasion and show that all the love Robin has given to us mattered in imagining and creating a better world for us all.
