What surprised me most about the Donner tragedy was that, given the terrible circumstances, how anyone survived at all.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everybody had something horrible happen to them at one time or another in their life.
I feel like I'm witnessing the systematic destruction of a people's ability to survive. It's horrifying.
While I shared many of the same emotions Bill describes, in no way did my experience ever degenerate into the grimness I find in his book - I didn't have to live with Don, and I think that made a big big difference.
I remember the day tDr. King died. I wasn't angry at the beginning. It was like something very personal in my life had been touched and finished.
Richard Donner's friendship and guidance showed me that there's more to life than being an actor.
We have witnessed the most extraordinary devastation. The magnitude of the situation is unbelievable. It's just heartbreaking.
I didn't wish those tragedies upon the people who played them out. It was certainly tragic for them, but not for me. All of those things brought me to where I am. Without those things, I couldn't be who I am, I wouldn't be here.
When any calamity has been suffered the first thing to be remembered is, how much has been escaped.
It was horrifying. You wouldn't believe how people are treated there. You could see that these people had withdrawn so far that they just lived in their own minds. They did terrible things to themselves.
There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.
