I was shocked and saddened to hear the news this morning. But as you said CLKD, many comedians have their demons and sadly he must have felt he couldnt fight them any more.
Mrs Doubtfire is one of my and my sons favourite films and he loved it so much when he was small that even now, both of us can quote almost the whole script with the accent too. So funny - and we were looking forward to a possible sequel next year. " Ooh noo dear, I don't need a hand, I need a face!"
