Sam Neill Calls Robin Williams 'Funniest' Yet 'Saddest Person I Ever Met'

[caj]

It is so sad that a man who brought so much laughter and joy to so many people just couldn't find happiness in his own life.

"He had fame, he was rich, people loved him, great kids—the world was his oyster. And yet I felt more sorry for him than I can express. He was the loneliest man on a lonely planet,"

For me, it's a tad difficult to untangle Williams' depression from any depression caused by or related to his "Parkinson's disease or dementia with Lewy bodies."

To say Williams "couldn't find happiness in his own life" is perhaps insufficient when you consider he apparently had a neurology disease that was related to his depression.

Robin was rich, people loved him, great kids and had a dementia-related disease. So Sam's view seems limited or skewed.
