I heard today that Actor/comedian Robin Williams has checked into rehab after 20 years sober!! Such a surprise. Wonder if Mel's DUI gave him the wake up call to stop. And wonder what the stressor was to cause him to start drinking after so many years!!:(

He is a recovering alcoholic like Mel.

His story hits close to home for me. I'm glad he's getting the help he needs. It just goes to show that even actors and actresses, who we think "have it all", are still human.
