[quote=Anonymous]I have long had a personal policy of not approaching any celebrity I might happen upon.  I don't ask for autographs or blather on about how much I liked xy movie or book.  Not that I see celebrities daily, but between living in DC and NY you see a few famous people every now and then.  A few months ago, I read a post by someone who had met Robert Downey, Jr. and been present when he really helped the writer's grandma.  Years later she saw him in public and approached him to tell him how she remembered his past kindness to her grandma even though she thought maybe he might want to be left alone.  He told her something like, "You have no idea how much I needed to hear that today.  Thank you."  I thought about that story when I heard that Robin Williams was gone.  I thought how I would never have approached him to say that my dad is a doctor who makes everyone laugh and how other doctors suddenly started copying (poorly) his ability to connect with his patients through humor after the movie "Patch Adams" came out.  I would never have approached him to tell him how much I love the movie Dead Poets Society.  How I still think about some of the darker scenes in Good Will Hunting.  How my mom and I laugh until we cry watching Mrs. Doubtfire.  What if someone told him what he needed to hear to make through one more day?  I have been thinking about that a lot and have decided that I will be telling people what they mean to me whenever I can whether they want to hear it or not.      [/quote]
