>>Yes, he has been somewhat out of control for awhile, although ostensibly he kicked the coke habit..........
Williams apparently is a real son of a limousine Lib:
The only child of a wealthy Ford Motor executive, Williams amassed 2,000 toy soldiers in his parents' 30-room mansion as a kid.
And yes, he reportedly was a drug abuser and did marry the nanny:
Privately, Williams has enjoyed his share of scandal. As if he needed extra energy, he reportedly snorted coke with John Belushi just before Belushi's 1982 death, and in 1986 he was sued for $6.2 million by an ex-girlfriend who claimed he infected her with herpes; Williams filed a counter-suit claiming the charges were false and she was trying to extort money from him. The case was settled in 1992, and the terms were not disclosed. After divorcing his first wife, Williams married his son's former nanny. He let her produce Mrs. Doubtfire, and she let him ham it up, and the result was a commercial blockbuster that further cemented his standing as Hollywood's most popular funnyman... entertainment.go.com
"Funny" is a matter of taste. You can see why he'd be a Dem, it's his natural home. |
