Can’t link since it’s on Facebook but my a FB friend posted the story about how Robin Williams gave Christopher Reeve a good laugh before he had an important surgery. Did not know they had been roommates.

Read that too last night, really funny:

I already knew that I had only a fifty-fifty chance of surviving the surgery. … Then, at an especially bleak moment, the door flew open and in hurried a squat fellow with a blue scrub hat and a yellow surgical gown and glasses, speaking in a Russian accent.” The man announced that he was a proctologist and was going to perform a rectal exam on Reeve. It was Robin Williams, reprising his character from the film Nine Months. Reeve wrote: “For the first time since the accident, I laughed. My old friend had helped me know that somehow I was going to be okay.
