There is a photograph from 1992 that Billy Crystal still keeps. He is being roasted at the Friars Club, sitting at the dais, liverpool women and just behind him is evan gold Robin Williams, who has spent the last several minutes pretending, with total commitment, to be Billy Crystal's foreskin. He called himself Rumpled Foreskin. The room was screaming. Billy Crystal, telling this story decades later on a late-night couch, still cannot get through it without breaking into the kind of laugh that only exists between two people who have known each other ukko pekka luukkonen since before either of them was famous.

That is the Robin Williams that Billy Crystal carries with him. Not the headline. Not the tragedy the world reduced him to in a single August afternoon in 2014. The friend who would do anything for a laugh and who somehow made you laugh harder than you thought you could without ever once making you feel like the joke. At 78, Billy Crystal is still telling that truth in rooms full of strangers, because somebody has to keep saying who Robin actually was before the world's memory of him calcifies into just the ending.

The two men met in the late 1970s on the Los Angeles comedy circuit, two young stand-ups working the same small rooms in the years before either of them had any idea what was coming. Robin Williams had grown up about as far from struggling comic territory as a person could start. He was born July 21st, 1951, in Chicago, the son of a senior Ford executive, and the family eventually settled into a forty-room farmhouse in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, the kind of house with its own staff, the kind of childhood that looked, from any outside vantage point, charmed. He attended the private Detroit Country Day School. He was class president. His classmates remember him as warm and hilarious, the kind of kid who could make any room laugh without seeming to try.
