Andy Kaufman Conspiracy
The conspiracy theory of, Andy Kaufman, is that he faked his death to be with his family and supposedly “Friday Night Lives” was part of why he died. His brother is one of the people that say that his brother Andy is not dead, also that a supposed daughter of his came out of the blue and said that he is still alive, she said that Kaufman was hiding from the fame just to spend more time with his family. There are some people that say that Andy is really dead; that they have seen Andy passed away, like his last girlfriend said she was there when he passed away in the hospital, and the hospital has his death certificate. But then again some other people say it was just a big joke of Andy’s, it was his last big performance as a comedian.
Kaufman was born in New York City on January 17, 1949, his parents where Stanley Kaufman and Janice Bernstein (Kaufaman). Kaufman was raised in the affluent suburb of Great Neck, Long Island, New York, Kaufman early on began practicing his unorthodox brand of comedy, staging a make-believe television show in his bedroom and performing at children's birthday parties from the age of 8 (Kaufaman).

Soon he was appearing on TV, including on show’s called “Saturday Night Live”, “Van Dyke and Company”, “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson”, “The Mike Douglas Show”, The Dating Game and the comedy show Fridays (Kaufaman).

In my opinion, I don’t think Andy Kaufman hid himself from the show business, there proof out there that the girlfriend he was with, had saw him died on the hospital bed when he had lung cancer. I also think that the reason that his brother is saying he got a letter from him and that he faked his death, might be because he really misses his brother and wants to get the idea that he is still alive and just away in a trip with his family. The supposed daughter that came out of nowhere might just want attention and make other people think Andy is alive so she can get money out of it. Well we did get a big joke of Andy, a joke that no one really knows if he is still alive or dead, but a for sure fact that I know is that people do or say anything just to get money out of it or get attention as well.

Throughout his whole career, Williams was always performing standup comedy. While many stand up comedians were using the same routine for almost every show they performed, Williams was performing a different show every night. He would improvise most of his material based on his audiences reaction instead of going into the show with all of his jokes thought out. This material helped change what stand up comedy was (Lombardi). Late comedian Joan Rivers says: “My favorite is Robin Williams. There's nobody like him. His mind is just wonderful. I respect him because he does what I do. I've seen him get up at The Comedy Store, work out a whole Carson shot and then come on Carson and make it look like it's easy. He takes nothing for granted. He knows exactly what he's doing. Robin Williams is one of those people

Yellow Rain, a mystery in itself for the last 30 years. Depending on which government you were talking to it is either a conspiracy theory/hoax or a fictional substance.

Robin McLaurin Williams was born on July 21,1951 in Chicago. Both of his parents were middle aged with grown children so Williams was raised as an only child. His father was a Ford Motor Company executive and his mother was a fashion model. Because his parents both had successful careers and were often absent the maid of the family raised Williams. He later explained "though he knew they loved him, they found it hard to communicate their affection. In fact, he says he began in comedy through his attempts to connect with his mother I'll make mommy laugh, and that'll be okay.' He was marked by the experience, being left with an acute fear of abandonment and a condition he describes as Love Me Syndrome'"(Wills 1). The family moved frequently because of his father's job. Moving constantly never gave Williams a chance to establish friendships. He was a larger child and often made fun of. Williams developed his quick humor as a way to defend himself from taunts and teases. Finally, Williams' father retired and the family settled down in Marion County, CA. Williams was finally able to establish a place for himself and make friends. At last he felt accepted and like he "fit in."

Since the time of Lincoln's death, many conspiracies have surrounded the death of our 16 President. Some believe that Andrew Johnson was apart of this plan, some even think that it was suicide. Usually, when I hear stories of people who think that a death didn't happen the way it was told, or that someone faked their death, I often times think it's because we as human beings don't want to accept the fact that someone we love is gone. Even if it is in the worst way possible.
