Mr Williams was the face of comedy for me growing up, as much as Jack Nicholson could be said to be "the face of evil".
I love the work done by Mr Williams and will be watching Mrs Doubtfire tonight.
I was watching The Daily Show with John Stewart a few weeks ago when he had Seinfeld on and Stewart said something that kind of hit home for me, he said something off-the-cuff to the effect that once Seinfeld left TV he was in people's hearts and minds but that once he (Stewart) left TV he would vanish from memory.
It really struck a chord with me and made me want to send him even a brief written note.
Comedians never vanish from memory. They are in our thoughts, our behaviours and mannerisms. We absorb the comedy we love and carry it with us, leaking it everywhere.
I figured I should write to him, even if only so his secretary can filter it out for the trashcan. Everyone can use a pat on the back sometimes, even the people we look up to.
I have resolved to write that note tonight.
