London:
Actor Tim Robbins is mourning the death of his parents after losing them both within weeks.
His musician mother, Mary Robbins, died just 12 days after his father passed away. Mary, 78, had heart arrhythmia while his father, Gilbert Lee, lost his battle with prostate cancer on April 5 at the age of 80, Contactmusic reported.
'The Shawshank Redemption' star Tim, who split from Susan Sarandon, his partner of 23-years in 2009, said his mother "had a calm and cheerful demeanour, a sharp wit, a gentle spirit and a generous and loving heart."
Speaking after his father's death earlier this month, Robbins had said, "His commitment to social justice was evident to us from an early age, as was his infectious mischievous sense of humour. His passing has created great sadness for all of us and our mother but we take comfort in knowing that the angels will soon be soothed by the songs coming from his beautiful baritone voice."
