ROBIN WILLIAMS (1951-2014) var skådespelaren vars osvikliga timing, sprudlande energi och makalösa improvisationsförmåga gick rakt in i hjärtat på stora och små över hela världen. Att någon som spred så mycket glädje kunde ta sitt eget liv framstår som ett mysterium, men i boken beskrivs vad som gömde sig bakom den glittrande blicken. Det är en gripande berättelse om depression, alkoholism och tablettmissbruk: rester av en problematisk barndom. Robin Williams: När skratten har tystnat är både en inträngande biografi och en hyllning till en av vår tids absolut största skådespelartalanger. Med lika delar värme och välgrundad fakta beskrivs Robin Williams genialitet och livsgärning på humorscenen och vita duken. Robin Williams är skådespelargeniet som gjort Döda poeters sällskap, Will Hunting och Good Morning, Vietnam till tidlösa klassiker. Utöver Oscar- Golden Globe- och Emmy-utmärkelser var han känd för sin stora generositet och ödmjukhet. EMILY HERBERT har skrivit biografier om flera av världens största stjärnor, bland andra Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams och Lady Gaga. Den här gången har hon skrivit en bok som är som Robin Williams själv: en underhållande och tröstande glädjespridare. Han damp ner i vår tillvaro som en utomjording, men kom att beröra allt det som gör oss till människor. BARACK OBAMA Jag har aldrig mött någon som var lika vänlig, intelligent och hänsynsfull som Robin. JOHN TRAVOLTA Han var den bäste vän man någonsin kan tänka sig. BILLY CRYSTAL Kanske vi kan förvandla förlusten av denna högt älskade skådespelare till något som står emot förtvivlans nedbrytande krafter? ALAN ALDA Med förord av Babben Larsson.

With his twinkling eyes, boundless energy and unrivalled natural wit, Robin Williams was the comedian who brought laughter to a generation. Through roles in cherished films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, Aladdin and Hook, he became the genial face of family comedy. His child-like enthusiasm was infectious, sweeping viewers away. Allied to his lightning-quick improvisation and ability to riff lewdly off any cue thrown at him, Robin was that rare thing - a true comic genius who appealed to adults and children equally. He could also play it straight, and empathetic depth came to him naturally. A poignant performance in Good Will Hunting won him an Academy Award whilst his masterfully chilling turn in psychological thriller Insomnia shocked audiences and hinted at a darker side. What truly caught the imagination, though, was his good-heartedness. Warmth radiated from him on-screen, but he was legendary for his off-screen acts of selfless generosity. Where most Hollywood A-listers demand outrageous pampering in their contract riders, he always insisted that the production company hire a full quota of homeless people to help make his movies. But behind the laughter lay a deeply troubled man, and tragedy would follow. At midday, on 11 August 2014, Robin Williams was pronounced dead at his California home. The verdict was suicide. He had battled depression and addiction for many years and was allegedly beset by financial difficulties. Emily Herbert's sensitive and thoughtful biography celebrates his genius and warmth, but also attempts to understand what could have driven such a gentle and gifted man to so tragic an end. This is Robin Williams, the life, the laughter, and the deep sorrow of the man who made the world smile.

A thoughtful look at the brilliant life and tragic death of a comedy icon

At midday on August 11, 2014, much-loved comedian Robin Williams was pronounced dead at his California home. From Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, and Aladdin to Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society, Robin Williams brought laughter—and deep joy—to a generation. He was sparklingly funny, a lightning-fast improviser, and a wonderful comic. But what touched millions of people was the warmth and compassion he exuded. The deeply tragic manner in which he took his own life has come as a shock to the world and caused people to wonder about the desperately troubled life behind the laughter he gave to millions. With Twitter igniting from record volumes of tributes to the much-loved actor, the death of Robin Williams has caused a public outpouring of grief not seen since the passing of Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston. Emily Herbert''s sensitive and thoughtful biography celebrates his genius, and attempts to understand what could have driven such a warm and gifted man to take his own life.

On Sunday, 31 January 2016 a nation used to waking ‘up to Wogan’ on his Radio 2 breakfast show instead awoke to the shocking news that Sir Terry Wogan had passed away at the age of seventy-seven.One of Britain’s most-loved broadcasters, Terry Wogan had been a fixture on the airwaves for over five decades with his dry, laconic wit and commentary making him instantly recognisable to his legions of fans. Hosting a number of radio shows for the BBC over the years, including Weekend Wogan right up until November 2015, Wogan broadcast to a record-breaking 8 million listeners at his peak, winning numerous popularity polls over the course of his career.Not content with ruling the airwaves, his long-running talk show Wogan is now the stuff of TV legend, as are his sardonic observations on the Eurovision Song Contest which made him the face of Eurovision to many, even today. But perhaps his most important contribution to British society, and the one of which he was most proud, was his work with Pudsey the Bear to raise an astounding ?600 million for Children in Need since he presented the very first show in 1980.Author Emily Herbert draws on the reminiscences of many famous friends and colleagues to create an authoritative and entertaining tribute to one of the funniest, most lovable and prolific broadcasters of all time.

Born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, George Michael was raised in a family of Greek Cypriot immigrants in North London, and dreamed of stardom when he was a little boy. At just twelve years old he met Andrew Ridgeley and the two of them went on to achieve stunning success in the early 1980s with Wham!, creating music that remains popular to this day. Yet despite the enormous success of Wham!, George wanted more, and so set about recreating himself as a serious solo artist, reaching heights of even greater success. Ironically, however, even from the early days he was plagued with insecurity about his sexuality, which, combined with the calamity of losing his first lover to AIDS and his mother to cancer, plunged him into a lifelong struggle with drug addiction. He died, at the tragically early age of just fifty-three, on Christmas Day 2016. George Michael's life and career brought him international fame, and his sudden and unexpected death shocked the world. His unrivalled popularity as an artist, however, and the music he made, have turned him into one of the immortal greats of pop music.As Emily Herbert shows in this new biography, his legacy is not just his music, but his many extraordinary, and often anonymous, acts of charity.

George Michaelista, kreikkalaisen maahanmuuttajaperheen pojasta, kasvoi yksi aikamme suurimmista pop-idoleista. Hän joutui kuitenkin maksamaan julkisuudestaan kovan hinnan.Menestystä, suosiota ja valtavia levymyyntejä. Mutta myös piilottelua, skandaaleja, masennusta ja huumeriippuvuutta. George Michaelin elämään kuuluivat niin parrasvalojen loiste kuin syvät varjotkin.Lapsuudenystävän, Andrew Ridgeleyn, kanssa perustettu bändi Wham! saavutti valtavan suosion 1980-luvun alussa. Kun George Michael siirtyi soolouralle, hänen uransa ponnahti uuteen rakettimaiseen nou-suun. Kuolemattomat hitit, kuten Careless Whisper tai Wake Me Up Before You Go Go tekivät hänestä radioasemien ja esiintymisareenoiden kestosuosikin. Kun George Michael äkillisesti kuoli 53-vuotiaana, hän jätti maailmalle perinnöksi muutakin kuin musiikkinsa. George Michael oli myös väsymätön paremman maailman puolesta taistelija, joka harjoitti nimettömänä laajaa hyväntekeväisyyttä.Emily Herbert on lontoolainen journalisti ja kirjailija. Hän on kirjoittanut useita näyttelijöiden ja pop-tähtien elämäkertoja, mm. Robbie Williamsin elämäkerran Ainutlaatuinen Robbie sekä teoksen Michael Jackson - Popin kuningas 1958-2009.

Popin kuninkaaksi nimetty Michael Jackson on ollut yksi viihdemaailman seuratuimpia hahmoja 1980-luvun alusta lähtien, kun hänen suuri läpimurtonsa, Thriller-albumi, myi ennätykselliset 109 miljoonaa kappaletta. Merkittävä osa Jacksonin suurista hiteistä on hänen itsensä säveltämiä ja sanoittamia mm. Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough, Billie Jean, Beat It, Bad, Black or White, Earth Song. Uransa aikana hän voitti huikeat 13 Grammy-palkintoa. Michael Jackson syntyi Garyssa, Indianassa elokuussa 1958 yhdeksänlapsiseen sisarusparveen. Esiintymiset Michael aloitti jo viisivuotiaana, ja pian hän kiersi veljiensä kanssa yhtyeissä Jackson Five ja The Jacksons. Vasta vuonna 1994 hän puhui avoimesti menetetystä lapsuudestaan ja vaikeasta suhteestaan väkivaltaiseen isäänsä. 1980-luvun huikean menestyksen jälkeen media seurasi herkeämättä hänen henkilökohtaista elämäänsä; jatkuvasti muuttuvaa ulkonäköä, terveyttä, ihmissuhteita ja mm. 2000-luvun pedofiliasyytöksiä, joihin hänet kuitenkin todettiin syyttömäksi. Jacksonin oli tarkoitus tehdä paluu konserttilavoille heinäkuussa 2009 This Is It -kiertueella. Michael Jacksonin uusi tuleminen ei koskaan toteutunut, sillä hän sai sydänkohtauksen kotonaan Los Angelesissa 25. kesäkuuta 2009 ja kuoli pian sen jälkeen sairaalassa. Kaunistelematon tarina yhdestä aikamme merkittävimmästä popartistista, jonka julkinen henkilökohtainen elämä yhdessä menestyksekkään uran kanssa on tehnyt hänestä unohtumattoman osan pop-kulttuuria.
