Robin Williams Had Early Stages of Parkinson's Disease

Robin Williams' wife says he was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease at the time of his death -- but she says he wanted to keep that battle under wraps.

Susan Schneider just released a statement, saying ... "Robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson's Disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly."

Susan does not draw a connection between the Parkinson's and Robin's suicide.

She added, "It is our hope in the wake of Robin’s tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid.”

'Million Dollar Listing' Reality Show Grandma Dies At 94

"Million Dollar Listing" star Edith Flagg died today at the age of 94.

Edith was a holocaust survivor and fashion mogul -- and became a fan favorite on her grandson Josh Flagg's show.

Josh said... "My grandmother was a legend, not only in my eyes, but in the eyes of the countless people she helped and touched. Beverly Hills and L.A. have lost one of the great members of the community."

Edith fled her native Austria at the age of 19 to escape the Nazis ... eventually making it to the US in the 1940s, where she built her fortune in the fashion industry. She was a big supporter of the United Jewish Welfare Fund and The City of Hope.

Edith famously brought polyester to America after finding the fabric in Switzerland. Disco is forever in her debt.

Carrie Fisher On Robin Williams: 'He Was the Opposite of Selfish'

Following a performance of her one-woman show, Wishful Drinking, a few years back, Carrie Fisher was surprised to see one of her longtime friends show up backstage, alone and in a particularly serious mood. His name: Robin Williams.

During an exclusive chat with THR by telephone from London, Fisher recounted the details of their discussion in her dressing room. And while she said she had seen Williams between that night and his tragic suicide on Aug. 11, something about that particular evening — his energy and their conversation about bipolar disorder (a prominent subject of her Broadway show and book of the same name) — has stuck with her all these years.

"He … looked lost, kind of, and he said that he didn’t think he was bipolar. He took the test that I gave the audience and got all the answers right, but didn’t think [being bipolar] was something that had anything to do with him," recalled Fisher, who has been candid about her own struggles with mental illness and addiction. "I never heard anything so off the mark. Like I did, he was driven by that frantic eagerness that you don’t just want someone to like you, you want to explode on their night sky like a miracle. And he did."

Lauren Bacall, Hollywood's Icon of Cool, Dies At 89

Lauren Bacall, the willowy actress whose husky voice, sultry beauty and all-too-short May-December romance with Humphrey Bogart made her an everlasting icon of Hollywood, has died, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. She was 89. 

Bacall died Tuesday morning of a stroke in her longtime home in the Dakota, the famous Upper West Side building that overlooks Central Park in Manhattan.

Bogart and Bacall were one of the most popular Hollywood couples, onscreen and off, and their 11-year marriage was the stuff of romantic lore. In 1981, their love provided the lyrics for Bertie Higgins’ 1981 pop hit “Key Largo” — “We had it all, just like Bogie and Bacall.”

They met just before they filmed her first movie, To Have and Have Not (1944), directed by Howard Hawks, her mentor. Although only 19, Bacall and her smoldering cool was the perfect match for the 44-year-old Bogart and his tough guy-persona.

Her best-remembered films, many of them considered classics, were with Bogart: To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948).

Russell Brand's Take on Robin Williams Will Break Your Heart All Over Again

Robin Williams' death has hit us all extremely, incredibly hard, and that's just a fact. There's sadness and confusion and probably a whole bunch of "Mork and Mindy" marathons going on today, but you know what might be nice? To hear some beautiful words from Russell Brand, a man who actually has a bit in common with Robin. Russell has, like Robin, struggled with addiction and depression and being a famous funny person throughout all that. And that's why this essay he wrote about Robin is going to just rip your heart out and make you really think about all this.

Russell wrote about his impression of Robin's comedy:

"Robin Williams was exciting to me because he seemed to be sat upon a geyser of comedy. Like he didn’t manufacture it laboriously within but had only to open a valve and it would come bursting through in effervescent jets. He was plugged into the mains of comedy. I was aware too that this burbling and manic man-child that I watched on the box on my Nan’s front room floor with a Mork action figure (I wish I still had that, he came in a plastic egg) struggled with mental illness and addiction. The chaotic clarity that lashed like an electric cable, that razzed and sparked with amoral, puckish wonder was in fact harvested madness. A refinement of an energy that could turn as easily to destruction as creativity."

Ashton Kutcher Sells Hollywood Hills Home For $9.925 Million

He may not have gotten the $12 million he wanted, but Ashton Kutcher still ended up making a $1.5 million profit on his Hollywood Hills bachelor pad.

Kutcher listed the home in May, and despite the fact that he had it for less than two years, keep in mind he has a baby on the way with fiancee Mila Kunis, who recently listed her Hollywood home as well. The expectant couple dropped $10 million on a massive new mansion in an exclusive, gated neighborhood in Beverly Hills, which is far more child-friendly than either of their previous residences.

The three-story home was built in 2007, and it sits on over half an acre of land and boasts stunning views of the Hollywood Reservoir. There are five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and nearly 9,385 square feet of living space, and key features include a gym, a sauna, a wine cellar, an elevator and a gorgeous terraced pool and spa.

Robin Williams: Seven of His Most Memorable Movie Roles

Robin Williams, the Oscar-winning actor and comedian who died Monday at age 63 of an apparent suicide, was a prolific and dynamic screen presence who left his mark on a diverse assortment of films. His performances were often marked by dynamic physicality, fast-talking wordplay and chameleonic voices, but he also proved capable of many dramatic shadings as well.

Here are but seven of Williams' numerous memorable movie roles:

"Good Morning, Vietnam" (1987): Having first made his name on the TV series "Mork & Mindy," Williams transitioned to big-screen comedies in the '80s and scored a hit with this Vietnam War tale directed by Barry Levinson. Williams put his irreverent, motor-mouthed humor to good use as an army DJ who is sent to Saigon, where he quickly irritates his staid superiors and wins over rank and file soldiers. Williams won a Golden Globe for lead actor in a comedy/musical and earned an Academy Award nomination for best actor.

"Dead Poets Society" (1989): Shifting gears from comedy, Williams showed his dramatic chops in Peter Weir's coming-of-age tale about an unorthodox English teacher (Williams) who inspires his students at an elite prep school by teaching them poetry and encouraging them to seize the day. Numerous critics praised Williams' performance, which garnered him another Oscar nomination.

"Hook" (1991): For a generation of moviegoers, Williams will no doubt be remembered as a fixture of their favorite family movies. Steven Spielberg's fantasy adventure "Hook" was one such film, in which Williams played a grown-up version of Peter Pan who has forgotten his magical past. The big-name, big-budget production (Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts also starred in the $70-million movie) ran well past its shooting schedule and was marked by personality clashes, and "Hook" opened to poor reviews. Even so, it was a commercial success (to the tune of $300 million worldwide) and has developed a cult following over
the years.
