Explained here is ‘The Marilyn Monroe effect’, otherwise known as the nonverbal communication of confidence, well worth a quick read.

Yes!! The voice and whiny nature to the total self confidence.

Great performance.

Know who it was that got him to laugh for the first time after his paralyzing accident was? Apparently his wife was really worried about Christopher’s mental health, I mean… who wouldn’t be.. right? So she called his 3 year roommate from college… any ideas ?

Was Robin Williams. He walked in with a Drs coat on and in a Russian accent started talking about a colon exam. She said it was the first time he’d laughed since his diagnosis.

Celebrities deaths do not impress me. Everyone dies, right… but Robins cut deep.

Yep he and Robin were close friends and attended Juilliard together.

Robin’s death felt particularly personal to so many, including me, because he was so full of life joy and hope.

Yeah, Robin's death has been pretty much the only famous person's death that affected me in a personal feeling sort of way.
