Everybody’s talking about… #Mork and Mindy
It was the TV show that launched Robin Williams’ career, and it’s being remembered fondly as a staple of many childhoods in the wake of his death.
A makeshift memorial has appeared at the house in Boulder, Colorado where the series was set.
In almost every scene, there he is, uncorking one of his antic flights of energy and creativity, a torrential outpouring of physical comedy, sound effects, and words.
It’s no wonder producer Garry Marshall said of Williams’ audition—in which he stood on his head in a chair—that Williams was the only alien who tried out for the role. Where else could all of that energy come from but outer space?
