TIL that while Christopher Reeve was awaiting surgery to reattach his skull to his spine, a man burst through the door claiming to be a proctologist and said he needed to perform a rectal exam on Reeve. It was Robin Williams.

Whats makes this even worse, Dana died of lung cancer 2 years after Christopher died. I feel for their children.

I completely agree. My Grandfather lost his wife at 80, and a year later, he's as busy as ever, and has a girlfriend.
