Kathy gives us the details of this weekend’s tribute to Robin Williams in Arizona. 

 Amidst the many tributes nationwide to comedy legend Robin Williams, Harkins Theatres is hosting a week-long tribute at its Valley Art location in Tempe, Arizona. The list of  Robin’s classics, starting on August 15, include :

  "The World According to Garp," "Good Will Hunting,"  "Dead Poets Society," "The Birdcage" and "Good Morning, Vietnam."

  Tickets are $5 per movie, and the proceeds go toward St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Dan Harkins, the owner and CEO of Harkins Theatres was fortunate enough to have met the beloved star who tragically took his own life August 11.  "I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet Robin Williams," says Dan. "We at Harkins Theatres are deeply saddened by the loss of a genuine person and comedic genius."

RIP Robin from those of us who were lucky enough to have known you off screen!
