Just read this from an old (1979) interview article with Robin Williams.
"The externals of the Williams' lifestyle have changed surprisingly little
since Mork. True, they moved from their rented beach apartment to a modest (by
Hollywood standards) under $200,000 canyon home. Robin describes it as "rustic
bordering on funk." Since his old Austin-Healey was stolen, he's bought a
silver BMW. He also acquired a malamute, Sam, who visits the neighbors to watch
TV (about all Williams watches is Taxi). On their acre of land, Robin and
Valerie plan to add two dwarf goats to a burgeoning menagerie that now includes
Polish chickens, Cora the parrot and Mr. I, the iguana who lives under the
refrigerator (his companion, Truman Capote, has passed away). "My desire for
material things is almost nonexistent," says Williams, who points out that his
suburban Detroit upbringing as the son of a Ford Motor Co. exec accustomed him
to comfort."
