Does this movie possibly have a curse on it?


I saw this in 1996 when I was 10 years old and I loved it. I grew up in the Robin Williams era when he was that crazy uncle we used to see in theatres.
Bill Cosby was America's Dad at the time and I used to love seeing him.

Fast forward to 2015 - Robin Williams died of suicide and if you read the news about Bill Cosby he might as well be dead or at least our image of him as America's Dad.

So what about the other cast members? Did those kids grow up OK? Is Diane Lane doing well? Is Francis Ford Coppola still making wine? Hopefully this is not a pattern and everyone is OK.

Maybe just with two cast members, but everybody else as far as I am aware of still alive and well, and I know Dianle Lane still acts in movies a few years after this movie she was in the movie My Dog Skip where she played another mom of a child, and she was in the movie Secretariat.

Robin ended his life, and it was unimaginable and tragic for so very many people, myself included. I mourn and miss Robin frequently.

I urge you to read about Lewy body disease, and the excruciating struggle that he went through before he ended his suffering.

His wife published an article that gives insight into Robin's health struggles, and how quickly the disorder ruined his life.
