About the Actor

Andy Williams is an American singer whose hits include Moon River. His Emmy-winning TV show entertained families during the 1960s and 1970s. SYNOPSIS - Andy Williams, born on December 3, 1927, in Wall Lake, Iowa, made his singing debut at age 8 as part of the Williams Brothers quartet. As a youngster, Williams performed in a church choir with brothers Bob, Dick and Don, before they formed the Williams Brothers quartet in the late 1930s. The group had great success on Midwestern radio stations, eventually landing a nightclub gig with comedian Kay Thompson from 1947 to 1951. He started a solo career in 1952. After a slow start, he started churning out a number of hit singles, including Canadian Sunset, Butterfly and The Hawaiian Wedding Song. Williams then moved to Los Angeles to sign the biggest recording contract of the time with Columbia Records. By 1973, he had recorded more than 17 gold records, including Moon River, Love Story and Days of Wine and Roses. Williams vocal technique and easy-listening sound made him one of the most popular singers of his era. His rendition of Moon River - written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer - from the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys was released on his 1962 album, Moon River and Other Great Movie Themes. One year earlier (in 1961), Moon River won an Oscar (best original song) - following its film debut in Breakfast at Tiffanys (sung by Audrey Hepburn). Williams performed the popular song at the Oscars in 1962. That same year, Williams leveraged his popularity to debut his own TV variety series on NBC, The Andy Williams Show. The show won three Emmy Awards and lasted until 1971, continuing into the 1990s as an annual Christmas special featuring the entire Williams family. In 1992, the legendary singer opened the Andy Williams Moon River Theater in Branson, Missouri, where he performed to sold-out crowds for years. QUOTES - The old cliche says that if you can remember the 1960s, you were not there. Well, I was there all right, but my memory of them is blurred - not by any drugs I took, but by the relentless pace of the schedule I set myself. - Andy Williams

Everyone's favorite over-the-top comedian brings his frantic pace to the big stage to sermonize on religion, breast implants, anthrax and everything in between. Recorded live in New York City. 2002/color/126 min/NR/fullscreen.

Sharper and deeper than Robin Williams's previous road material, Live on Broadway is a mature comedian's view of all things to do with power, prejudice, and paranoia in the 21st century. On the anthrax scare of 2001: "The Senate cleared out of their building but told the rest of us, 'Get on with your normal lives!'" On his solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over Jerusalem: "Time share!" On the pitfalls of America's deepening alliance with Britain: "The House of Commons is like Congress with a two-drink minimum." A viewer may have to slog through Williams's tedious breast fetishism, but patience is quickly rewarded with bitchy takes on Martha Stewart facing prison, solid satire about French existentialist judges at the Olympics, and subversive op-eds about the Bush administration's inability to clarify terrorist threats to the public ("Has the CIA become the Central Intuitive Agency?"). --Tom Keogh

When the U.S. Army engages irreverent, nonconformist radio deejay Adrian Cronauer, it unleashes a secret, if unpredictable, weapon: laughter. Academy Award(R) winner Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor, GOOD WILL HUNTING, 1997) shakes up 1965 Saigon in the role that garnered him his very first Oscar(R) nomination. Imported by the military to host an early a.m. radio show, Cronauer (Williams) blasts the formerly serene, sanitized airwaves with a constant barrage of rapid-fire humor and the hottest hits from back home. The G.I.s love him, but the top brass is up in arms. Riddled with sidesplitting comic salvos, bittersweet bombshells, and hot '60s rock 'n' roll, this landmark film chronicles one man's raucous Saigon adventures amidst a world gone mad. Featuring all-new bonus material that includes hilarious outtakes from Robin Williams' "raw" monologues, this Special Edition of GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM, scores a direct hit every time you watch.
